The motivation for this paper arises from an article written by Peña et al. [40] in 2010,where they propose the eigenvectors associated with the extreme values of a kurtosismatrix as interesting directions to reveal the possible cluster structure of a dataset. In recent years many research...

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...
