چکیده

-Estimation theory is used to derive a new approach to the clustering problem. The new method is a unification of centroid and mode estimation, achieved by considering the effect of spatial scale on the estimator. The result is a multiresolution method which spans a range of spatial scales, giving enhanced robustness both to noise in the data and to changes of scale in the data, by using comparison between scales as a test of cluster validity, lterative and non-iterative algorithms based on the new estimator are presented and are shown to be more accurate than simple scale-space filtering in identifying and locating the cluster centres from noisy test data. Results from a wide range of applications are used to illustrate the power and versatility of the new method. Clustering Scale-space Multi-resolution Estimation

Data Clustring Using A New CGA(Chaotic-Generic Algorithm) Approach

Clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. The members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. The genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. One of these applications is the clustering of images. The problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...

A Novel Clustering Approach for Estimating the Time of Step Changes in Shewhart Control Charts

  Although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. Identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. There are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. In this paper we propose a novel app...

Improvement of Facial expression recognition is aim of proposed method. This is a new formulation to the linear discriminant analysis. In the new formulation within-class and between-class covariance matrix are estimated on the each cluster and in the test phase new samples are mapped to the subspace that is related to the cluster of them. At the first we addressed clustering analysis of faces ...
