Evaluating Mixture Modeling for Clustering: Recommendations and Cautions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Steinley, Douglas; Brusco, Michael J. – Psychological Methods, 2011
This article provides a large-scale investigation into several of the properties of mixture-model clustering techniques (also referred to as latent class cluster analysis, latent profile analysis, model-based clustering, probabilistic clustering, Bayesian classification, unsupervised learning, and finite mixture models; see Vermunt & Magdison,…

"K"-Means May Perform as well as Mixture Model Clustering but May Also Be Much Worse: Comment on Steinley and Brusco (2011)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vermunt, Jeroen K. – Psychological Methods, 2011
Steinley and Brusco (2011) presented the results of a huge simulation study aimed at evaluating cluster recovery of mixture model clustering (MMC) both for the situation where the number of clusters is known and is unknown. They derived rather strong conclusions on the basis of this study, especially with regard to the good performance of…
