Clustering Three-Way Data with Outliers

The paper introduces a method for clustering matrix-variate normal data that accounts for outliers. It extends the OCLUST algorithm by employing subset log-likelihood distributions and an iterative trimming procedure. This approach enables robust clustering of complex structured data such as images and time series.

Robust model-based clustering via mixtures of multivariate pseudo-Voigt distributions

The paper introduces a multivariate pseudo‑Voigt mixture model, combining Gaussian and Cauchy components with shared location and scale parameters, for robust clustering and outlier detection. Parameter estimation is performed using an EM algorithm that leverages latent variables for efficient likelihood inference. The authors evaluate the model through simulations and real data, comparing it to established robust mixtures such as contaminated normals, and demonstrate its effectiveness on heavy‑tailed datasets.

Localized Kernel Projection Outlyingness: A Two-Stage Approach for Multi-Modal Outlier Detection

arXiv:2510. 24043v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper presents Two-Stage LKPLO, a novel multi-stage outlier detection framework that overcomes the coexisting limitations of conventional projection-based methods: their reliance on a fixed statistical metric and their assumption of a single data structure.
