CLUES: A non-parametric clustering method based on local shrinking
In this paper, we propose a novel non-parametric clustering method based on non-parametric local shrinking. Each data point is transformed in such a way that it moves a specific distance toward a cluster center. The direction and the associated size of each movement are determined by the median of its K-nearest neighbors. This process is repeated until a pre-defined convergence criterion is sat...
متن کاملAn Iterative Non-parametric Clustering Algorithm Based on Local Shrinking
In this paper, we propose a new non-parametric clustering method based on local shrinking. Each data point is transformed in such a way that it moves a specific distance toward a cluster center. The direction and the associated size of each movement are determined by the median of its K-nearest neighbors. This process is repeated until a pre-defined convergence criterion is satisfied. The optim...
متن کاملclues: An R Package for Nonparametric Clustering Based on Local Shrinking
This introduction to the R package clues is a (slightly) modified version of Chang et al. (2010), published in the Journal of Statistical Software. Determining the optimal number of clusters appears to be a persistent and controversial issue in cluster analysis. Most existing R packages targeting clustering require the user to specify the number of clusters in advance. However, if this subjecti...
متن کاملNon Parametric Local Density-Based Clustering for Multimodal Overlapping Distributions
In this work, we present a clustering algorithm to find clusters of different sizes, shapes and densities, to deal with overlapping cluster distributions and background noise. The algorithm is divided in two stages. In a first step, local density is estimated at each data point. In a second stage, a hierarchical approach is used by merging clusters according to the introduced cluster distance, ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Color Image Segmentation Based on Non Parametric Clustering
Many segmentation problems have been addressed using probabilistic modeling. These methods tend to estimate the region membership probabilities for each pixel of the image. The segmentation results depend strongly on the initialization of these regions and the selection of the appropriate number of segments. In this paper we present an unsupervised segmentation method based on non parametric cl...
