چکیده
Acknowledgments It is my pleasure to thank Prof. Klaus Obermayer for an excellent supervision with numerous discussions and fruitful suggestions. I would also like to thank Matthias Burger, who was my collaborator in the work on which Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 are based. Both Matthias Burger and Ralf Herbrich proofread the manuscript and provided moral support. Also, I am indebted to Prof. Eckehard Schh oll for oocially supervising a thesis which lies at the interdisciplinary boundary between statistical physics, statistics, and neuroinformatics. I would like to mention that this work was partly funded by the Technical University of Berlin via the Forschungsinitiativprojekt FIP 13/41. Also, I would like to thank the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes for the support of my studies. Finally, many thanks go to my parents who are the best \sponsors" in every respect. Without them there would be no \me" and this thesis would not have come into existence in the rst place.

A Comparative Study of Some Clustering Algorithms on Shape Data
Recently, some statistical studies have been done using the shape data. One of these studies is clustering shape data, which is the main topic of this paper. We are going to study some clustering algorithms on shape data and then introduce the best algorithm based on accuracy, speed, and scalability criteria. In addition, we propose a method for representing the shape data that facilitates and ...
متن کاملApplication of Probabilistic Clustering Algorithms to Determine Mineralization Areas in Regional-Scale Exploration Studies
In this work, we aim to identify the mineralization areas for the next exploration phases. Thus, the probabilistic clustering algorithms due to the use of appropriate measures, the possibility of working with datasets with missing values, and the lack of trapping in local optimal are used to determine the multi-element geochemical anomalies. Four probabilistic clustering algorithms, namely PHC,...
متن کاملA Clustering Based Location-allocation Problem Considering Transportation Costs and Statistical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)
Cluster analysis is a useful technique in multivariate statistical analysis. Different types of hierarchical cluster analysis and K-means have been used for data analysis in previous studies. However, the K-means algorithm can be improved using some metaheuristics algorithms. In this study, we propose simulated annealing based algorithm for K-means in the clustering analysis which we refer it a...
متن کاملAssessment of the Performance of Clustering Algorithms in the Extraction of Similar Trajectories
In recent years, the tremendous and increasing growth of spatial trajectory data and the necessity of processing and extraction of useful information and meaningful patterns have led to the fact that many researchers have been attracted to the field of spatio-temporal trajectory clustering. The process and analysis of these trajectories have resulted in the extraction of useful information whic...
متن کاملProposing a Novel Cost Sensitive Imbalanced Classification Method based on Hybrid of New Fuzzy Cost Assigning Approaches, Fuzzy Clustering and Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...
متن کاملRepeated Record Ordering for Constrained Size Clustering
One of the main techniques used in data mining is data clustering, which has many applications in computer science, biology, and social sciences. Constrained clustering is a type of clustering in which side information provided by the user is incorporated into current clustering algorithms. One of the well researched constrained clustering algorithms is called microaggregation. In a microaggreg...
