Figure D.14: 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 Glass 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 />

D.2.5 WDBC data set<br />

Figure D.16 presents the φ (NMI) boxplots corresponding to the selection-based self-refining<br />

process applied on the WDBC data set. Firstly, notice that the cluster ensemble component<br />

selected by means of the φ (ANMI) criterion –λref– is pretty close to the highest quality<br />

partition contained in the cluster ensemble. Secondly, the effect of self-refining is highly<br />

dependent on the consensus function employed. For instance, no quality gains are achieved<br />

when CSPA, EAC or HGPA are used. In contrast, φ (NMI) gains (although modest) are<br />

obtained when self-refining is conducted using the MCLA, ALSAD, KMSAD and SLSAD<br />

consensus functions. <strong>La</strong>st, notice that the supraconsensus function selects very high quality<br />

clusterings as the final partition.<br />

D.2.6 Balance data set<br />

As far as the performance of the selection-based self-refining process when applied on the<br />

Balance data collection, figure D.17 shows that self-refined clustering solutions of higher<br />
