Fig. 7From: Statistical analysis in support of maintaining a healthy traditional Siamese cat populationDetermination of the optimal number of model-based clusters. The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is used to determine the optimal number of model-based clusters within the Thai cat population (2016–2017). The model type and number of clusters are found where the BIC value is maximal. The maximum value is reached when using the VVE model and four clustersBack to article page
