A K-means-like algorithm for informetric data clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The K-means algorithm is one of the most often used clustering techniques. However, when it comes to discovering clusters in informetric data sets that consist of non-increasingly ordered vectors of not necessarily conforming lengths, such a method cannot be applied directly. Hence, in this paper, we propose a K-means-like algorithm to determine groups of producers that are similar not only with respect to the quality of information resources they output, but also their quantity.

Persistent K-Means: Stable Data Clustering Algorithm Based on K-Means Algorithm
Identifying clusters or clustering is an important aspect of data analysis. It is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way those objects in the same group/cluster are more similar in some sense or another. It is a main task of exploratory data mining, and a common technique for statistical data analysis This paper proposed an improved version of K-Means algorithm, namely Persistent K...

Stochastic nature of earthquake has raised a challenge for engineers to choose which record for their analyses. Clustering is offered as a solution for such a data mining problem to automatically distinguish between ground motion records based on similarities in the corresponding seismic attributes. The present work formulates an optimization problem to seek for the best clustering measures. In...

Data clustering is the process of partitioning a set of data objects into meaning clusters or groups. Due to the vast usage of clustering algorithms in many fields, a lot of research is still going on to find the best and efficient clustering algorithm. K-means is simple and easy to implement, but it suffers from initialization of cluster center and hence trapped in local optimum. In this paper...

Crime detection is one of the major issues in the field of criminology. In fact, criminology includes knowing the details of a crime and its intangible relations with the offender. In spite of the enormous amount of data on offenses and offenders, and the complex and intangible semantic relationships between this information, criminology has become one of the most important areas in the field o...
