Figure D.13: φ (NMI) boxplots of the cluster ensemble E, the selected cluster ensemble component<br />

λref and the self-refined consensus clustering solutions λc p i on the Wine data collection<br />

across all the consensus functions employed. The green dashed vertical line identifies<br />

the clustering solution selected by the supraconsensus function in each experiment.<br />

solution λref is hardly surpassed by any of the refined consensus clustering solutions —<br />

in fact, this only happens when self-refining is based on the EAC and SLSAD consensus<br />

functions. In most cases, supraconsensus selects the selected cluster ensemble component<br />

λref as the final clustering solution.<br />

D.2.4 Ionosphere data set<br />

The application of the selection-based self-refining process on the Ionosphere data collection<br />

gives rise to modest quality increases, as depicted in figure D.15. Notice how only when<br />

the self-refining procedure is based on the CSPA and HGPA consensus functions, clustering<br />

solutions of higher φ (NMI) than λref are obtained.<br />

Furthermore, notice that the supraconsensus function selects, in most cases, the highest<br />

quality clustering solutions —unfortunately, the only exceptions occur when self-refining is<br />

based on CSPA and HGPA, i.e. the cases when self-refining introduces some significant<br />

quality gains.<br />
