In this article we propose a recombination procedure for previously split data. It is basedon the study of modes in the density of the data, since departing from unimodality canbe a sign of the presence of clusters. We develop an algorithm that integrates a splitting process inherited from the...

We introduce SAGRA (Split And Group Recombining Algorithm), a cluster analysis methodology which split the data set into small homogeneous groups and later recombine those groups using Bayes factors. We compare the performance of SAGRA with other three cluster analysis algorithms: SAR, M-clust...
