As an alternative to the k-means clustering the k-spatial medians clustering has many good points because of advantages of spatial median. However, it has not been used a lot since it needs heavy computation. If the number of objects and the number of variables are large the computation time problem is getting serious. In this study we propose fast algorithm for the k-spatial medians clustering. Practical applicability of the algorithm is shown with some numerical studies.

Data clustering is often one of the first steps in data mining analysis. It Identifies groups of related objects that can be used as a starling point for exploring further relationships. This technique supports the development of population segmentation models, such as demographic-based customer segmentation. This paper Purpose to present the development of two phase hierarchical clustering algorithm for group formation. Applications of the algorithm for product-customer group formation in customer relationahip management are also discussed. As a result of computer simulations, suggested algorithm outperforms single link method and k-means clustering.

Clustering analysis has been widely used in numerous applications like pattern recognition, data analysis, intrusion detection, image processing, bioinformatics and so on. Much of previous work has been based on the numeric data only. However, symbolic data analysis has emerged to deal with variables that can have intervals, histograms, and even functions as values. In this paper, we propose a non symmetric proximity based clustering approach for symbolic objects. A method for clustering symbolic patterns based on the average similarity value(ASV) is explored. The results of the proposed clustering method differ from those of the existing methods and the results are very encouraging.

In this paper, we show the improved fuzzy c-means clustering method. To improve, we use the double clustering as principal component analysis from objects which is located on common region of more than two clusters. In addition we use the degree of membership (probability) of fuzzy c-means which is the advantage. From simulation result, we find some improvement of accuracy in data of the probability 0.7 exterior and interior of overlapped area.

In many cases of cluster analysis we are forced to perform clustering without any prior knowledge on the number of clusters. But in some clustering methods such as k-means algorithm it is required to provide the number of clusters beforehand. In this study, we focus on the problem to determine the number of clusters in the given data. We follow the 2 stage approach of ASA clustering algorithm and mainly try to improve the performance of the first stage of the algorithm. We verify the usefulness of the method by applying it for various kinds of simulated data. Also, we apply the method for clustering two kinds of real life qualitative data.

The conventional clustering approaches are mostly based on minimizing total dissimilarity of input and output. However, the clustering approach may not be helpful in some cases of clustering decision making units (DMUs) with production feature converting multiple inputs into multiple outputs because it does not care converting functions. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied for efficiency estimation of such DMUs since it has non-parametric characteristics. We propose a new clustering method to identify groups of DMUs that are similar in terms of their input-output profiles. A real world example is given to explain the use and effectiveness of the proposed method. And we calculate similarity value between its result and the result of a conventional clustering method applied to the example. After the efficiency value was added to input of K-means algorithm, we calculate new similarity value and compare it with the previous one.

The development of smart grids has enabled the easy collection of a large amount of power data. There are some common patterns that make it useful to cluster power consumption patterns when analyzing s power big data. In this paper, clustering analysis is based on distance functions for time series and clustering algorithms to discover patterns for power consumption data. In clustering, we use 10 distance measures to find the clusters that consider the characteristics of time series data. A simulation study is done to compare the distance measures for clustering. Cluster validity measures are also calculated and compared such as error rate, similarity index, Dunn index and silhouette values. Real power consumption data are used for clustering, with five distance measures whose performances are better than others in the simulation.

Time series of spring discharge data in Jeju island can provide abundant information on the spatial groundwater system. In this study, the classification based on time series of spring discharge was performed with clustering analysis: discharge rate and EC. Peak discharges are mainly observed in august or september. However, double peaks and late peaks of discharge are also observed at a plenty of springs. Based on results of clustering analysis, it can be deduced that GH model is not appropriate for the conceptual model of Groundwater system in Jeju island. EC distributions in dry season are also support the conclusion.

In this paper, we present that the result of document clustering can change dramatically with respect to the different ways of indexing compound nouns. First of all, the automatic indexing engine specialized for Korean words analysis, which also serves as the backbone engine for automatic document clustering system, is introduced. Then, the details of hierarchical agglomerative clustering(HAC) method, one of the widely used clustering methodologies in these days, was illustrated. As the result of observing the experiments, carried out in the final part of this paper, it comes to the conclusion that the various modes of indexing compound nouns have an effect on the outcome of HAC.

Recently there are many bibliometric studies attempting to utilize Pathfinder networks(PFNets) for examining and analyzing the intellectual structure of a scholarly field. Pathfinder network scaling has many advantages over traditional multidimensional scaling, including its ability to represent local details as well as global intellectual structure. However there are some limitations in PFNets including very high time complexity. And Pathfinder network scaling cannot be combined with cluster analysis, which has been combined well with traditional multidimensional scaling method. In this paper, a new method named as Parallel Nearest Neighbor Clustering (PNNC) are proposed for complementing those weak points of PFNets. Comparing the clustering performance with traditional hierarchical agglomerative clustering methods shows that PNNC is not only a complement to PFNets but also a fast and powerful clustering method for organizing informations.
