International audienceInstead of fitting a single and global model (regression, PCA, etc.) to a set of observations, clusterwise methods look simultaneously for a partition into k clusters and k local models optimizing some criterion. There are two main approaches: 1. the least squares approach introduced by E.Diday in the 70's, derived from k-means 2. mixture models using maximum likelihood but only the first one easily enables prediction. After a survey of classical methods, we will present recent extensions to functional, symbolic and multiblock data
