Hyperbolic Distributions and Transformations for Clustering Incomplete Data with Extensions to Matrix Variate Normality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Under realistic scenarios, data are often incomplete, asymmetric, or of high-dimensionality. More intricate data structures often render standard approaches infeasible due to methodological or computational limitations. This monograph consists of four contributions each solving a specific problem within model-based clustering. An R package is developed consisting of a three-phase imputation method for both elliptical and hyperbolic parsimonious models. A novel stochastic technique is employed to speed up computations for hyperbolic distributions demonstrating superior performance overall. A hyperbolic transformation model is conceived for clustering asymmetrical data within a heterogeneous context. Finally, for high-dimensionality, a framework is developed for assessing matrix variate normality within three-way datasets. All things considered, this work constitutes a powerful set of tools to deal with the ever-growing complexity of big data

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
