A Bayesian Alternative to Mutual Information for the Hierarchical Clustering of Dependent Random Variables.

The use of mutual information as a similarity measure in agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) raises an important issue: some correction needs to be applied for the dimensionality of variables. In this work, we formulate the decision of merging dependent multivariate normal variables in an AH...
