clustering technique is one of the most important techniques of data mining and is the branch of multivariate statistical analysis and a method for grouping similar data in to same clusters. with the databases getting bigger, the researchers try to find efficient and effective clustering methods so that they can make fast and real decisions. thus, in this paper, we proposed an improved ant syst...

this paper proposes a two-step approach for characterizing the reservoir properties of the world’s largest non-associated gas reservoir. this approach integrates geological and petrophysical data and compares them with the field performance analysis to achieve a practical electrofacies clustering. porosity and permeability prediction is done on the basis of linear functions, succeeding the elec...

Considering the concept of clustering, the main idea of the present study is based on the fact that all stocks for choosing and ranking will not be necessarily in one cluster. Taking the mentioned point into account, this study aims at offering a new methodology for making decisions concerning the formation of a portfolio of stocks in the stock market. To meet this end, Multiple-Criteria Decisi...
