Abstract

In this paper, it is demonstrated that the generalized ADCLUS model (Psychological Review 86:87–123, 1979; Psychometrika 47:449–475, 1982) may serve as a theoretical data model for two-mode clustering. The data model has the potential to offer a generale rationale for the generation of artificial data sets in Monte Carlo experiments in that a number of model parameters are included which may generate clusters of different shape, overlap, between-group heterogeneity, etc. The usefulness of the data model as a framework to comparatively estimate the performance of some two-mode methods is demonstrated in a Monte Carlo study.
