[SY02a] Comparing two partitions: Some Proposals and Experiments

Conférence Internationale avec comité de lecture : COMPSTAT 2002, January 2002, Berlin, Germany,

Mots clés: partition, cluster analysis, classification

Résumé: We propose a methodology for finding the empirical distribution of the Rand's measure of association when the two partitions only differ by chance. For that purpose we simulate data coming from a latent profile model and we partition them according to 2 groups of variables. We also study two other indices: the first is based on an adaptation of Mac Nemar' test, the second being Jaccard' index. Surprisingly, the distributions of the 3 indices are bimodal.
