Clustering items in different data sources induced by stability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many multi-branch companies transact from different branches. Each branch of such a company maintains a separate database over time. The variation of sales of an item over time is an important issue. Thus, we introduce the notion of stability of an item. Stable items are useful in making many strategic decisions for a company. Based on the degree of stability of an item, we design an algorithm for clustering items in different data sources. We have proposed the notion of best cluster by considering average degree of variation of a class. Also, we have designed an alternative algorithm to find best cluster among items in different data sources. Experimental results are provided on three transactional databases.

Clustering has been one of the main building blocks in the fields of machine learning and computer vision. Given a pair-wise distance measure, it is challenging to find a proper way to identify a subset of representative exemplars and its associated cluster structures. Recent trend on big data analysis poses a more demanding requirement on new clustering algorithm to be both scalable and accura...
متن کاملA New Method for Duplicate Detection Using Hierarchical Clustering of Records
Accuracy and validity of data are prerequisites of appropriate operations of any software system. Always there is possibility of occurring errors in data due to human and system faults. One of these errors is existence of duplicate records in data sources. Duplicate records refer to the same real world entity. There must be one of them in a data source, but for some reasons like aggregation of ...

متن کاملExtracting Prior Knowledge from Data Distribution to Migrate from Blind to Semi-Supervised Clustering
Although many studies have been conducted to improve the clustering efficiency, most of the state-of-art schemes suffer from the lack of robustness and stability. This paper is aimed at proposing an efficient approach to elicit prior knowledge in terms of must-link and cannot-link from the estimated distribution of raw data in order to convert a blind clustering problem into a semi-supervised o...
