摘要
Clustering is one of the most important problems in unsupervised learning. This paper focuses on the clusters that are characterized by the different covariance matrices. We propose a distribution free approach, called covariance clustering method, to conduct clustering for the general high dimensional mixture models. Step one of the new two-stage approach is to choose an appropriate nonlinear transformation of the original data and step two is to conduct the clustering from the perspective of the leading eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrices of the transformed data. We prove that the misclustering error for the new algorithm converges to zero with probability tending to one under mild conditions. Simulation studies also demonstrate that the covariance clustering method outperforms the other methods under a variety of settings.
