Résumé:
We address the issue of clustering individuals described by several homogeneous
blocks of variables. Reformulating it as a problem of consensus of partitions,
we propose a weighted consensus method based on the RV index to find
the partition of the individuals. The principal idea of this consensus methods is
to agglomerate the separate initial partitions obtain from each block into a global
partition which has to be the most similar to the initial partitions according to the
RV coefficient. The proposed method is illustrated and compared to CSPA (cluster
based similarity partitioning algorithm) and a weighted consensus clustering method
based on non-negative matrix factorization.
