A clustering Bayesian approach for radiotherapy x-ray beam bouquets
Résumé
This paper presents a Bayesian framework for the clustering of multivariate directional or circular data. We introduce a hierarchical model that combines Projected Normal distributions and a Dirichlet Process. The parameters of the model are then inferred using a Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs algorithm. Simulated datasets are analyzed to study the influence of the parameters of the model. Then, the benefits of our approach are illustrated by clustering real data from the positions of five separate radiotherapy x-ray beams on a circle.
