Mixtures of skew-t factor analyzers

TLDR
Mixtures of skew-t factor analyzers are very well-suited for model-based clustering of high-dimensional data, giving superior clustering results when compared to a well-established family of Gaussian mixture models.

Model-Based Clustering

TL;DR: A review of work to date in model-based clustering, from the famous paper by Wolfe in 1965 to work that is currently available only in preprint form, and a look ahead to the next decade or so.

A mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions

TL;DR: The authors introduce a mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions as an alternative to the ubiquitous mixture of Gaussian distributions as well as their near relatives within which the mixture of multivariate t-distributions and the mixtures of skew-t distributions predominate.

Finite mixtures of canonical fundamental skew $$t$$t-distributions

TL;DR: Lee and McLachlan as mentioned in this paper introduced a finite mixture of canonical fundamental skew $$t$$t (CFUST) distributions for a model-based approach to clustering where the clusters are asymmetric and possibly long-tailed.

Extending mixtures of factor models using the restricted multivariate skew-normal distribution

TL;DR: The proposed MSNFA model provides an approach to model-based density estimation and clustering of high-dimensional data exhibiting asymmetric characteristics and a computationally feasible Expectation Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm is developed for computing the maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.

Molecular classification of cancer: class discovery and class prediction by gene expression monitoring.

TL;DR: A generic approach to cancer classification based on gene expression monitoring by DNA microarrays is described and applied to human acute leukemias as a test case and suggests a general strategy for discovering and predicting cancer classes for other types of cancer, independent of previous biological knowledge.
