This study introduces ROOTCLUS, a new model for analyzing three-way proximity data. It effectively handles subject heterogeneity by identifying common object clusters and allowing for individual-specific partitions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Multivariate Statistics
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Subject heterogeneity in perception poses challenges for analyzing three-way proximity data.
  • Existing models may not adequately capture commonalities and individual differences in similarity judgments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel model, ROOTCLUS, for analyzing three-way proximity data.
  • To address subject heterogeneity by distinguishing commonalities from individual differences in object perception.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the ROOTCLUS model, which identifies common, non-overlapping clusters (ROOT CLUSters) across subjects.
  • Incorporated subject-specific partitions for objects not belonging to ROOT CLUSters, linked one-to-one to ROOT CLUSters.
  • Utilized an alternating least squares (ALS)-type algorithm for model fitting.

Main Results:

  • The ROOTCLUS model successfully detects a subset of objects with common similarity structures across subjects.
  • Individual partitions effectively capture subject-specific variations in object perception.
  • The ALS-type algorithm provides a sound method for fitting the model to data.

Conclusions:

  • ROOTCLUS offers a robust approach to modeling subject heterogeneity in three-way proximity data.
  • The model's ability to identify common and individual structures enhances understanding of perceptual similarities.
  • The method is validated through simulation and empirical data, demonstrating its practical utility.
