Statistics & Probability Letters, 2024, vol. 208, issue C

Abstract: This article proposes a non-parametric clustering heatmap for non-ordinal samples based on their underlying discrete probability distributions. The proposed heatmap is a preliminary tool to extract immediate information from non-ordinal data without making any parametric assumption.
