“…In the copula-based framework, such an approach has been adopted, for instance, in [27,28], which considers the temporal matrix induced by the (pairwise) copula parameters. In [29], instead, the correlation-based dissimilarity matrix is transformed by means of the spatial information, taking into account the intrinsic geometry of the space of correlation matrices. According to [30], all these methods have the tendency to produce a smooth dissimilarity matrix without, however, reinforcing the spatial contiguity between the resulting clusters.…”
