We apply a functional data approach for mixture model-based multivariate innovation clustering to identify different … regional innovation portfolios in Europe. Innovation concentration is considered as pattern of specialization among innovation … types. We examine patent registration data and combine them with other innovation and economic data across 225 regions, 13 …

Clustering methods such as k-means have found widespread use in a variety of applications. This paper proposes a formal testing procedure to determine whether a null hypothesis of a single cluster, indicating homogeneity of the data, can be rejected in favor of multiple clusters. The test is...

We introduce a new method for dynamic clustering of panel data with dynamics for cluster location and shape, cluster composition, and for the number of clusters. Whereas current techniques typically result in (economically) too many switches, our method results in economically more meaningful...
