A Simple Approach to Sparse Clustering

23 Feb 2016arXiv:1602.07277archive 2025-07-28

Ery Arias-Castro, Xiao Pu

Consider the problem of sparse clustering, where it is assumed that only a subset of the features are useful for clustering purposes. In the framework of the COSA method of Friedman and Meulman, subsequently improved in the form of the Sparse K-means method of Witten and Tibshirani, a natural and simpler hill-climbing approach is introduced. The new method is shown to be competitive with these two methods and others.
