Figure D.17: 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 Balance data<br />

collection 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 />

self-refining is applied, especially when the CSPA, ALSAD and KMSAD consensus functions<br />

are employed —more modest improvements are obtained when using MCLA or SLSAD,<br />

whereas none is attained when self-refining is based on EAC and HGPA.<br />

As regards the ability of the supraconsensus function to select the top quality clustering<br />

solution as the final one, it only suceeds when consensus is based on EAC, HGPA and<br />

MCLA. However, the φ (NMI) losses caused by suboptimal supraconsensus selection are, in<br />

general, moderate.<br />

D.2.10 BBC data set<br />

The application of the selection-based self-refining procedure on the BBC data set yields<br />

the φ (NMI) boxplots depicted in figure D.21. Notice that, in this very data collection, the<br />

cluster ensemble component λref selected via average φ (NMI) is very close (if not equal)<br />

to the maximum quality individual partition contained in the cluster ensemble E. Starting<br />

from this high quality reference point, the self-refining procedure manages to yield slightly<br />

better clusterings when it is based on the MCLA, ALSAD and KMSAD consensus functions.<br />
