Figure D.18: 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 MFeat 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 />

Moreover, notice that, regardless of the consensus function employed, the supraconsensus<br />

function tends to select pretty high quality clustering solutions as the final ones.<br />

D.2.11 PenDigits data set<br />

Figure D.22 presents the φ (NMI) boxplots corresponding to the application of the selectionbased<br />

clustering self-refining procedure on the PenDigits data set. Recall that, due to its<br />

size, only the HGPA and MCLA consensus functions are executable on this data collection.<br />

As regards the results obtained, notice that the selected cluster ensemble component λref<br />

has a notably high quality. However, the results obtained when it is self-refined differ<br />

dramatically depending on the consensus function applied. In the case of HGPA, selfrefining<br />

brings about no quality gains, and the supraconsensus function correctly selects<br />

λref as the final clustering solution. In contrast, refined clusterings yielded by MCLA<br />

are capable of achieving slightly higher φ (NMI) values than the selected cluster ensemble<br />

component λref. However, supraconsensus conducts a suboptimal selection, as it does not<br />

choose the maximum quality refined clustering as the final partition.<br />
