This document discusses various clustering analysis methods including k-means, k-medoids (PAM), and CLARA. It explains that clustering involves grouping similar objects together without predefined classes. Partitioning methods like k-means and k-medoids (PAM) assign objects to clusters to optimize a criterion function. K-means uses cluster centroids while k-medoids uses actual data points as cluster representatives. PAM is more robust to outliers than k-means but does not scale well to large datasets, so CLARA applies PAM to samples of the data. Examples of clustering applications include market segmentation, land use analysis, and earthquake studies.
K-means clustering is an algorithm that groups data points into k number of clusters based on their similarity. It works by randomly selecting k data points as initial cluster centroids and then assigning each remaining point to the closest centroid. It then recalculates the centroids and reassigns points in an iterative process until centroids stabilize. While efficient, k-means clustering has weaknesses in that it requires specifying k, can get stuck in local optima, and is not suitable for non-convex shaped clusters or noisy data.
Clustering is the process of grouping similar objects together. It allows data to be analyzed and summarized. There are several methods of clustering including partitioning, hierarchical, density-based, grid-based, and model-based. Hierarchical clustering methods are either agglomerative (bottom-up) or divisive (top-down). Density-based methods like DBSCAN and OPTICS identify clusters based on density. Grid-based methods impose grids on data to find dense regions. Model-based clustering uses models like expectation-maximization. High-dimensional data can be clustered using subspace or dimension-reduction methods. Constraint-based clustering allows users to specify preferences.
K-means clustering is an algorithm that groups data points into k clusters based on their similarity, with each point assigned to the cluster with the nearest mean.

It involves measuring the distance or similarity between objects and grouping those that are most similar together. There are two main types: hierarchical cluster analysis, which groups objects sequentially into clusters; and nonhierarchical cluster analysis, which directly assigns objects to pre-specified clusters. The choice of method depends on factors like sample size and research objectives.

K-means clustering is an algorithm that groups data points into k clusters based on their attributes and distances from initial cluster center points. It works by first randomly selecting k data points as initial centroids, then assigning all other points to the closest centroid and recalculating the centroids. This process repeats until the centroids are stable or a maximum number of iterations is reached. K-means clustering is widely used for machine learning applications like image segmentation and speech recognition due to its efficiency, but it is sensitive to initialization and assumes spherical clusters of similar size and density.
Cluster analysis is used to group similar objects together and separate dissimilar objects. It has applications in understanding data patterns and reducing large datasets. The main types are partitional which divides data into non-overlapping subsets, and hierarchical which arranges clusters in a tree structure. Popular clustering algorithms include k-means, hierarchical clustering, and graph-based clustering. K-means partitions data into k clusters by minimizing distances between points and cluster centroids, but requires specifying k and is sensitive to initial centroid positions. Hierarchical clustering creates nested clusters without needing to specify the number of clusters, but has higher computational costs.

This document summarizes a research paper that evaluates cluster quality using a modified density subspace clustering approach. It discusses how density subspace clustering can be used to identify clusters in high-dimensional datasets by detecting density-connected clusters in all subspaces. The proposed approach uses a density subspace clustering algorithm to select attribute subsets and identify the best clusters. It then calculates intra-cluster and inter-cluster distances to evaluate cluster quality and compares the results to other clustering algorithms in terms of accuracy and runtime. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improves clustering quality and performs faster than existing techniques.
A survey on Efficient Enhanced K-Means Clustering Algorithmijsrd.com
Data mining is the process of using technology to identify patterns and prospects from large amount of information. In Data Mining, Clustering is an important research topic and wide range of unverified classification application. Clustering is technique which divides a data into meaningful groups. K-means clustering is a method of cluster analysis which aims to partition n observations into k clusters in which each observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean. In this paper, we present the comparison of different K-means clustering algorithms.
This document discusses unsupervised machine learning techniques for clustering unlabeled data. It covers k-means clustering, which partitions data into k groups based on minimizing distance between points and cluster centroids. It also discusses agglomerative hierarchical clustering, which successively merges clusters based on their distance. As an example, it shows hierarchical clustering of texture images from five classes to group similar textures.
Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique used to group unlabeled data points. There are two main approaches: hierarchical clustering and partitioning clustering. Partitioning clustering algorithms like k-means and k-medoids attempt to partition data into k clusters by optimizing a criterion function. Hierarchical clustering creates nested clusters by merging or splitting clusters. Examples of hierarchical algorithms include agglomerative clustering, which builds clusters from bottom-up, and divisive clustering, which separates clusters from top-down. Clustering can group both numerical and categorical data.
Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique that groups unlabeled data points into clusters based on similarities. It can be used for tasks like market segmentation, image segmentation, and anomaly detection. The k-means clustering algorithm is a common partitioning clustering method that divides data into k predefined clusters by minimizing distances between data points and cluster centroids.

It discusses existing clustering methods like K-means, hierarchical clustering, and density-based clustering. For each method, it outlines the basic steps and provides an example application of K-means clustering to demonstrate how the algorithm works. The document also discusses evaluating clustering results and different measures used to assess cluster validity.
This document discusses hierarchical clustering algorithms. It describes hierarchical clustering as a method that forms clusters based on a hierarchical (tree-like) structure, with new clusters being formed from previously established clusters. There are two main approaches: agglomerative, which is a bottom-up approach that treats each data point as an individual cluster initially, and divisive, which is a top-down approach that treats all data points as one cluster initially. The document provides examples of hierarchical clustering algorithms and discusses key aspects like linkage criteria and interpreting dendrograms.
This document discusses different methods of cluster analysis. Cluster analysis is a statistical technique that groups similar objects together into clusters. There are several categories of clustering methods, including partitioning, hierarchical, density-based, grid-based, model-based, and constraint-based. The partitioning method divides data into a set number of partitions or clusters, while hierarchical methods create hierarchical groupings by either merging or dividing clusters. Density-based clustering focuses on grouping areas of high density, and grid-based clustering quantizes space into a grid for faster processing. Model-based clustering fits data to hypothesized models, and constraint-based clustering incorporates user-defined constraints.

Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique that groups unlabeled data points together based on similarities. There are several types of clustering algorithms, including hierarchical, k-means, density-based, model-based, grid-based, and distribution-based algorithms. Each algorithm uses different methods to define clusters, such as distance between points, density of points, or fitting to statistical models. K-means clustering partitions data into k clusters by minimizing distances between points and cluster centroids.
Step by step operations by which we make a group of objects in which attributes
of all the objects are nearly similar, known as clustering. So, a cluster is a collection of
objects that acquire nearly same attribute values. The property of an object in a cluster is
similar to other objects in same cluster but different with objects of other clusters.
Clustering is used in wide range of applications like pattern recognition, image processing,
data analysis, machine learning etc. Nowadays, more attention has been put on categorical
data rather than numerical data. Where, the range of numerical attributes organizes in a
class like small, medium, high, and so on. There is wide range of algorithm that used to
make clusters of given categorical data. Our approach is to enhance the working on well-
known clustering algorithm k-modes to improve accuracy of algorithm. We proposed a new

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Contents
3. Clustering
• It is basically a type of Unsupervised learning method;
• It is a method in which we draw reference from datasets consisting of
input data without labeled responses.
• Clustering is the task of dividing the population or data point into a
number of groups such that data point in the same groups are more
similar to other data points in the same group and dissimilar to the data
points in other groups.
•There are no criteria for a good clustering, It depends on the user, what
is the criteria they may use which satisfy their need.
Introduction
4. Drawbacks of Traditional Clustering Algorithms
Favor Cluster approximating spherical shapes.
Similar Size.
poor at handling Outliers.
Methods of using Clustering
1. Centroid by finding dmean
dmean (Ca, Cb) = || Ma - Mb ||
2. All point approach by finding dmin.
dmin (Ca, Cb) = minimum(|| pa,i –pb,j ||)
5. Application of cluster analysis:
• It is widely used in many applications such as image processing, data
analysis, and pattern recognition.
• It can be used in the field of biology, by deriving animal and plant
taxonomies, Identifying genes with the same capabilities.
• It also helps in information discovery by classifying documents on the web.
• Clustering is used in outlier detection application such as detection of
credit card fraud.
• It also help in identification of areas of similar land use in an earth
observation database.
6. categorization of major clustering methods
Clustering methods can be classified into the following categories
Partitioning Method
Hierarchical Method
Density-Based Method
Grid-based Method
Model-Based Method
Constraints-Based Method
7. Partitioning Method
These Methods partition the object into k cluster and each partition forms one
cluster.
• Each group has at least one Object, each object belonging to one group
• In this method starts with one big cluster and downward step by
step reaches the number of cluster wanted partitioning the existing
clusters.
• Then it uses the iterative relocation technique to improve the partitioning
by moving object from one group to other.
• There are many algorithms that come under partitioning methods
some the popular are: K-means, CLARANS(Clustering Large Application
based upon Randomized Search) etc.
8. K-Mean (A centroid based Technique)
• We are given a data set of items, with certain futures, and values
for these features (Like a vector).
• The tasks to categorize those items into groups. To achieve this,
we will use the k-Means algorithm.
• An unsupervised learning algorithm.
• The algorithms will categorize the items into k groups of
similarity.
• To calculate the similarity, we will use the Euclidean distance as
measurement.
The algorithm works as follows:
1. First we initialize k points, called means, randomly.
9. 1. First we initialize k points, called means, randomly.
2. We categorize each item to its closest mean and we update the
mean’s coordinates, which are the averages of the items
categorized in that mean so far.
3. We repeat the process for a given number of iterations and at the
end, we have our clusters.
The “Points” mentioned above are called means, because they hold
the mean values of the items categorized in it.
10. Hierarchical Methods
In this method starts with single point cluster and
upward step by step merge cluster until desired number of
cluster is reached.
• It is begins by treating every data point as a separate cluster.
• New cluster is formed using the previously formed one.
• It is divided into two category:
Agglomerative (Bottom up approach)
Divisive (Top down approach)
• Example: CURE (Clustering Using Representatives), BIRCH
(Balanced Iterative Reducing Clustering and using Hierarchies)
etc.
11. Basic Concept of CURE Algorithm
CURE(Clustering using Representatives)
It is a hierarchical based clustering technique, that adopts a
middle ground between the centroid based and the all-point
techniques.
It is used for identifying the spherical and non-spherical
clusters.
Pre defined representatives points.
Works with the outliers.
Shrinking the cluster with the factor.
13. Random Sampling
When all data set is considered as input of algorithm,
execution time could be high due to the I/O costs. So,
Random samples are considered as input of algorithm.
Random sampling is fitted in main memory.
Random samples are generated very fast.
The overhead of generating random sample is very small
compared to the time for performing the clustering on the
sample.
14. Partitioning Sample
Random samples are created.
Partitioning helps to speed up the CURE algorithm.
The steps followed are
Partition the data point into different partitions.(n/p).
The advantage of partitioning the input is to reduce the
execution time.
Each n/p group of point fit in the main memory for increasing
performance of partial clustering.
15. Handling Outlier
Random sampling filter out the majority of outliers.
Outliers due to their larger distance from the points tend
to merge with other point, and grow slower.
Number of outliers are less then clusters.
So, first the clusters which are growing very slowly are
identified and eliminated.
Second, at the end of growing process,, very small
cluster are eliminated.
17. Labeling Data on Disk
The process of sampling the initial data set, exclude the
majority of data points. This data point must be assigned to
some cluster created in former phases.
Conclusion
We have see that CURE can detect cluster with non-spherical
shape and wide variance in size using a set of representative
point for each cluster.
CURE can also have a good execution time in presence of large
database using random sampling and partitioning methods.
CURE works well when the database contains outliers. These
are detected and eliminated.
