This document discusses using a modified k-means algorithm to identify the optimal number of clusters in categorical sequence data.

Information extraction from data is one of the key necessities for data analysis. Unsupervised nature of data leads to complex computational methods for analysis. This paper presents a density based spatial clustering technique integrated with one-class Support Vector Machine (SVM), a machine learning technique for noise reduction, a modified variant of DBSCAN called Noise Reduced DBSCAN (NRDBSCAN). Analysis of DBSCAN exhibits its major requirement of accurate thresholds, absence of which yields suboptimal results. However, identifying accurate threshold settings is unattainable. Noise is one of the major side-effects of the threshold gap. The proposed work reduces noise by integrating a machine learning classifier into the operation structure of DBSCAN. The Experimental results indicate high homogeneity levels in the clustering process.
ESTIMATING PROJECT DEVELOPMENT EFFORT USING CLUSTERED REGRESSION APPROACHcscpconf
Due to the intangible nature of “software”, accurate and reliable software effort estimation is a challenge in the software Industry. It is unlikely to expect very accurate estimates of software
development effort because of the inherent uncertainty in software development projects and the complex and dynamic interaction of factors that impact software development. Heterogeneity exists in the software engineering datasets because data is made available from diverse sources.
This can be reduced by defining certain relationship between the data values by classifying them into different clusters. This study focuses on how the combination of clustering and
regression techniques can reduce the potential problems in effectiveness of predictive efficiency due to heterogeneity of the data. Using a clustered approach creates the subsets of data having a degree of homogeneity that enhances prediction accuracy. It was also observed in this study that ridge regression performs better than other regression techniques used in the analysis.

K-MEDOIDS CLUSTERING USING PARTITIONING AROUND MEDOIDS FOR PERFORMING FACE R...ijscmc
Face recognition is one of the most unobtrusive biometric techniques that can be used for access control as well as surveillance purposes. Various methods for implementing face recognition have been proposed with varying degrees of performance in different scenarios. The most common issue with effective facial biometric systems is high susceptibility of variations in the face owing to different factors like changes in pose, varying illumination, different expression, presence of outliers, noise etc. This paper explores a novel technique for face recognition by performing classification of the face images using unsupervised learning approach through K-Medoids clustering. Partitioning Around Medoids algorithm (PAM) has been used for performing K-Medoids clustering of the data. The results are suggestive of increased robustness to noise and outliers in comparison to other clustering methods. Therefore the technique can also be used to increase the overall robustness of a face recognition system and thereby increase its invariance and make it a reliably usable biometric modality
Clustering technology has been applied in numerous applications. It can enhance the performance
of information retrieval systems, it can also group Internet users to help improve the click-through rate of
on-line advertising, etc. Over the past few decades, a great many data clustering algorithms have been
developed, including K-Means, DBSCAN, Bi-Clustering and Spectral clustering, etc. In recent years, two
new data clustering algorithms have been proposed, which are affinity propagation (AP, 2007) and density
peak based clustering (DP, 2014). In this work, we empirically compare the performance of these two latest
data clustering algorithms with state-of-the-art, using 6 external and 2 internal clustering validation metrics.
Our experimental results on 16 public datasets show that, the two latest clustering algorithms, AP and DP,
do not always outperform DBSCAN. Therefore, to find the best clustering algorithm for a specific dataset, all
of AP, DP and DBSCAN should be considered. Moreover, we find that the comparison of different clustering
algorithms is closely related to the clustering evaluation metrics adopted. For instance, when using the
Silhouette clustering validation metric, the overall performance of K-Means is as good as AP and DP. This
work has important reference values for researchers and engineers who need to select appropriate clustering
algorithms for their specific applications.

The improved k means with particle swarm optimizationAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes an improved K-means clustering algorithm using particle swarm optimization. It begins with an introduction to data clustering and types of clustering algorithms. It then discusses K-means clustering and some of its drawbacks. Particle swarm optimization is introduced as an optimization technique inspired by swarm behavior in nature. The proposed algorithm uses particle swarm optimization to select better initial cluster centroids for K-means clustering in order to overcome some limitations of standard K-means. The algorithm works in two phases - the first uses particle swarm optimization and the second performs K-means clustering using the outputs from the first phase.

Classifying a dataset using machine learning algorithms can be a big challenge when the target is a small dataset. The OneR classifier can be used for such cases due to its simplicity and efficiency. In this paper, we revealed the power of a single attribute by introducing the pertinent single-attributebased-heterogeneity-ratio classifier (SAB-HR) that used a pertinent attribute to classify small datasets. The SAB-HR’s used feature selection method, which used the Heterogeneity-Ratio (H-Ratio) measure to identify the most homogeneous attribute among the other attributes in the set. Our empirical results on 12 benchmark datasets from a UCI machine learning repository showed that the SAB-HR classifier significantly outperformed the classical OneR classifier for small datasets. In addition, using the H-Ratio as a feature selection criterion for selecting the single attribute was more effectual than other traditional criteria, such as Information Gain (IG) and Gain Ratio (GR).
QUALITY OF CLUSTER INDEX BASED ON STUDY OF DECISION TREE IJORCS
Quality of clustering is an important issue in application of clustering techniques. Most traditional cluster validity indices are geometry-based cluster quality measures. This work proposes a cluster validity index based on the decision-theoretic rough set model by considering various loss functions. Real time retail data show the usefulness of the proposed validity index for the evaluation of rough and crisp clustering. The measure is shown to help determine optimal number of clusters, as well as an important parameter called threshold in rough clustering. The experiments with a promotional campaign for the retail data illustrate the ability of the proposed measure to incorporate financial considerations in evaluating quality of a clustering scheme. This ability to deal with monetary values distinguishes the proposed decision-theoretic measure from other distance-based measures. Our proposed system validity index can also be efficient for evaluating other clustering algorithms such as fuzzy clustering.
This document describes a new distance-based clustering algorithm (DBCA) that aims to improve upon K-means clustering. DBCA selects initial cluster centroids based on the total distance of each data point to all other points, rather than random selection. It calculates distances between all points, identifies points with maximum total distances, and sets initial centroids as the averages of groups of these maximally distant points. The algorithm is compared to K-means, hierarchical clustering, and hierarchical partitioning clustering on synthetic and real data. Experimental results show DBCA produces better quality clusters than these other algorithms.

Ensemble based Distributed K-Modes ClusteringIJERD Editor
Clustering has been recognized as the unsupervised classification of data items into groups. Due to the explosion in the number of autonomous data sources, there is an emergent need for effective approaches in distributed clustering. The distributed clustering algorithm is used to cluster the distributed datasets without gathering all the data in a single site. The K-Means is a popular clustering method owing to its simplicity and speed in clustering large datasets. But it fails to handle directly the datasets with categorical attributes which are generally occurred in real life datasets. Huang proposed the K-Modes clustering algorithm by introducing a new dissimilarity measure to cluster categorical data. This algorithm replaces means of clusters with a frequency based method which updates modes in the clustering process to minimize the cost function. Most of the distributed clustering algorithms found in the literature seek to cluster numerical data. In this paper, a novel Ensemble based Distributed K-Modes clustering algorithm is proposed, which is well suited to handle categorical data sets as well as to perform distributed clustering process in an asynchronous manner. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the existing distributed K-Means clustering algorithms, and K-Modes based Centralized Clustering algorithm. The experiments are carried out for various datasets of UCI machine learning data repository.

Related work integrating PSO with other clustering algorithms is also reviewed. The proposed approach uses binary PSO to select improved initial prototypes for K-Prototype clustering in order to obtain better clustering results than traditional K-Prototype and avoid local optima.
Automatic Unsupervised Data Classification Using Jaya Evolutionary Algorithmaciijournal
In this paper we attempt to solve an automatic clustering problem by optimizing multiple objectives such as automatic k-determination and a set of cluster validity indices concurrently. The proposed automatic clustering technique uses the most recent optimization algorithm Jaya as an underlying optimization stratagem. This evolutionary technique always aims to attain global best solution rather than a local best solution in larger datasets. The explorations and exploitations imposed on the proposed work results to detect the number of automatic clusters, appropriate partitioning present in data sets and mere optimal values towards CVIs frontiers. Twelve datasets of different intricacy are used to endorse the performance of aimed algorithm. The experiments lay bare that the conjectural advantages of multi objective clustering optimized with evolutionary approaches decipher into realistic and scalable performance paybacks.

Optimising Data Using K-Means Clustering AlgorithmIJERA Editor
K-means is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well known clustering problem. The procedure follows a simple and easy way to classify a given data set through a certain number of clusters (assume k clusters) fixed a priori. The main idea is to define k centroids, one for each cluster. These centroids should be placed in a cunning way because of different location causes different result. So, the better choice is to place them as much as possible far away from each other.
This document provides an overview of different techniques for clustering categorical data. It discusses various clustering algorithms that have been used for categorical data, including K-modes, ROCK, COBWEB, and EM algorithms. It also reviews more recently developed algorithms for categorical data clustering, such as algorithms based on particle swarm optimization, rough set theory, and feature weighting schemes. The document concludes that clustering categorical data remains an important area of research, with opportunities to develop techniques that initialize cluster centers better.

The document analyzes issues with existing clustering methodology and proposes a new dynamic ensemble membership selection scheme to support data structure and complexity independent clustering for cancer data partitioning. The method combines partition around medoids clustering with an incremental semi-supervised cluster ensemble framework to improve healthcare data partitioning accuracy.

Automatic Unsupervised Data Classification Using Jaya Evolutionary Algorithmaciijournal
In this paper we attempt to solve an automatic clustering problem by optimizing multiple objectives such as automatic k-determination and a set of cluster validity indices concurrently. The proposed automatic clustering technique uses the most recent optimization algorithm Jaya as an underlying optimization stratagem. This evolutionary technique always aims to attain global best solution rather than a local best solution in larger datasets. The explorations and exploitations imposed on the proposed work results to detect the number of automatic clusters, appropriate partitioning present in data sets and mere optimal values towards CVIs frontiers. Twelve datasets of different intricacy are used to endorse the performance of aimed algorithm. The experiments lay bare that the conjectural advantages of multi objective clustering optimized with evolutionary approaches decipher into realistic and scalable performance paybacks.

Optimising Data Using K-Means Clustering AlgorithmIJERA Editor
K-means is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well known clustering problem. The procedure follows a simple and easy way to classify a given data set through a certain number of clusters (assume k clusters) fixed a priori. The main idea is to define k centroids, one for each cluster. These centroids should be placed in a cunning way because of different location causes different result. So, the better choice is to place them as much as possible far away from each other.

Finding Relationships between the Our-NIR Cluster ResultsCSCJournals
The problem of evaluating node importance in clustering has been active research in present days and many methods have been developed. Most of the clustering algorithms deal with general similarity measures. However In real situation most of the cases data changes over time. But clustering this type of data not only decreases the quality of clusters but also disregards the expectation of users, when usually require recent clustering results. In this regard we proposed Our-NIR method that is better than Ming-Syan Chen proposed a method and it has proven with the help of results of node importance, which is related to calculate the node importance that is very useful in clustering of categorical data, still it has deficiency that is importance of data labeling and outlier detection.

Fuzzy clustering and fuzzy c-means partition cluster analysis and validation ...IJECEIAES
A hard partition clustering algorithm assigns equally distant points to one of the clusters, where each datum has the probability to appear in simultaneous assignment to further clusters. The fuzzy cluster analysis assigns membership coefficients of data points which are equidistant between two clusters so the information directs have a place toward in excess of one cluster in the meantime. For a subset of CiteScore dataset, fuzzy clustering (fanny) and fuzzy c-means (fcm) algorithms were implemented to study the data points that lie equally distant from each other. Before analysis, clusterability of the dataset was evaluated with Hopkins statistic which resulted in 0.4371, a value < 0.5, indicating that the data is highly clusterable. The optimal clusters were determined using NbClust package, where it is evidenced that 9 various indices proposed 3 cluster solutions as best clusters. Further, appropriate value of fuzziness parameter m was evaluated to determine the distribution of membership values with variation in m from 1 to 2. Coefficient of variation (CV), also known as relative variability was evaluated to study the spread of data. The time complexity of fuzzy clustering (fanny) and fuzzy c-means algorithms were evaluated by keeping data points constant and varying number of clusters.
