Abstract

The article introduces a model-based clustering method using nested Gaussian clusters, which is particularly useful for datasets with hierarchical class labels. The proposed method extends the finite Gaussian mixture model to capture nested clustering structures, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of data variations. The model is designed to handle datasets where class labels exhibit multiple levels of hierarchy, such as cities belonging to provinces/states and nations. The article provides a detailed explanation of the model, including its specification, estimation via the expectation-maximization algorithm, and various model variations. Additionally, the article includes a simulation study and real-world dataset applications to demonstrate the model's effectiveness. The simulation study examines the performance of the model under different scenarios, while the real-world dataset applications showcase its practical applicability. The article also discusses future work, including potential improvements and extensions to the model.
