The normal distribution has limitations when modeling data with outliers. The presence of outliers implies heavier tails in the distribution; whereas, the normal distribution has very light tails. For this reason, the contaminated normal distribution is used as a better alternative to model in these cases. One of the applications where this change is pertinent is in model-based clustering. In this approach, using multivariate normal distributions as the basis for clustering is common practice; however, the parameter estimates may be biased due to the presence of outliers. In this thesis, the multivariate contaminated normal distribution is used as the basis for model-based clustering. The characteristics of the model were presented, as well as a simulation study that compares the performance of the model with respect to the multivariate normal distribution and the multivariate t-distribution. Finally, a clustering process was carried out based on a mixture of multivariate contaminated normal distributions to a data set of the results of the Socio-emotional Skills assessment, an operation implemented by the Ministry of Education of Peru in 2021.
