Clustering probability distributions

Tai Vo Van and T. Pham-Gia

Journal of Applied Statistics, 2010, vol. 37, issue 11, 1891-1910

Abstract: This article presents some theoretical results on the maximum of several functions, and its use to define the joint distance of k probability densities, which, in turn, serves to derive new algorithms for clustering densities. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theory.
