To reveal the structure underlying two-way two-mode object by variable data, Mirkin (1987) has proposed an additive overlapping clustering model. This model implies an overlapping clustering of the objects and a reconstruction of the data, with the reconstructed variable profile of an object...

A well-known clustering model to represent I × I × J data blocks, the J frontal slices of which consist of I × I object by object similarity matrices, is the INDCLUS model. This model implies a grouping of the I objects into a prespecified number of overlapping clusters, with each...

The overlapping additive clustering model or principal cluster model is a model for two-way two-mode object by variable data that implies an overlapping clustering of the objects and a set of profiles (characteristic variable values for each cluster). The model values of the variables of an...

Research questions in several research domains imply the simultaneous analysis of different blocks of information that pertain to the same research objects. In personality psychology, for example, to study the relation between individual differences in behavior and cognitive-affective units that...

In many research domains different pieces of information are collected regarding the same set of objects. Each piece of information constitutes a data block, and all these (coupled) blocks have the object mode in common. When analyzing such data, an important aim is to obtain an overall picture...

In this procedure, a least-squares loss function in terms of discrepancies between D and M is minimized. The present paper describes the original hierarchical classes algorithm proposed by De Boeck and Rosenberg (1988), which is based on an alternating greedy heuristic, and proposes a new...

According to the hypothesis of configural encoding, the spatial relationships between the parts of the face function as an additional source of information in the facial perception of emotions. The paper analyses experimental data on the perception of emotion to investigate whether there is...
