Augmented quantization: a general approach to mixture models

Résumé

The investigation of mixture models is a key to understand and visualize the distribution of multivariate data. Most mixture models approaches are based on likelihoods, and are not adapted to distribution with finite support or without a well-defined density function. This study proposes the Augmented Quantization method, which is a reformulation of the classical quantization problem but which uses the p-Wasserstein distance. This metric can be computed in very general distribution spaces, in particular with varying supports. The clustering interpretation of quantization is revisited in a more general framework. The performance of Augmented Quantization is first demonstrated through analytical toy problems. Subsequently, it is applied to a practical case study involving river flooding, wherein mixtures of Dirac and Uniform distributions are built in the input space, enabling the identification of the most influential variables.
