In this paper we propose a divisive top-down clustering method designed for interval and histogram-valued data. The method provides a hierarchy on a set of objects together with a monothetic characterization of each formed cluster. At each step, a cluster is split so as to minimize intra-cluster dispersion, which is measured using a distance suitable for the considered variable types. The criterion is minimized across the bipartitions induced by a set of binary questions. Since interval-valued variables may be considered a special case of histogram-valued variables, the method applies to data described by either kind of variables, or by variables of both types. An example illustrates the proposed approach.< Réduire
