Selection of a representative sample

Lee, Herbert K.H.; Taddy, Matthew; Gray, Genetha A.

Sometimes a larger dataset needs to be reduced to just a few points, and it is desirable that these points be representative of the whole dataset. If the future uses of these points are not fully specified in advance, standard decision-theoretic approaches will not work. We present here methodology for choosing a small representative sample based on a mixture modeling approach. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
