Researchers have introduced a novel mixture of spatial factor analyzers (MSFA) designed to tackle the complexities of clustering high-dimensional spatial data. This framework utilizes a spline-based spatial decay covariance structure to manage parameter inflation and incorporates matrix variate factor analyzers for dimensionality reduction. The estimation process combines an expectation-maximization algorithm with a generalized least squares estimator. The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated through simulations and applications in analyzing tensor-variate data, including Raman spectroscopy and hyperspectral texture databases, showcasing its ability to accurately identify and distinguish spatial patterns.
