Adaptive Density Level Set Clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
Clusters are often defined to be the connected components of a density level set. Unfortunately, this definition depends on a level that needs to be user specified by some means. In this paper we present a simple algorithm that is able to asymptotically determine the optimal level, that is, the level at which there is the first split in the cluster tree of the data generating distribution. We further show that this algorithm asymptotically recovers the corresponding connected components. Unlike previous work, our analysis does not require strong assumptions on the density such as continuity or even smoothness.

The proposed IAFC neural networks have both stability and plasticity because theyuse a control structure similar to that of the ART-1(Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network.The unsupervised IAFC neural network is the unsupervised neural network which uses the fuzzyleaky learning rule. This fuzzy leaky learning rule controls the updating amounts by fuzzymembership values. The supervised IAFC ...

متن کاملImprovement of density-based clustering algorithm using modifying the density definitions and input parameter
Clustering is one of the main tasks in data mining, which means grouping similar samples. In general, there is a wide variety of clustering algorithms. One of these categories is density-based clustering. Various algorithms have been proposed for this method; one of the most widely used algorithms called DBSCAN. DBSCAN can identify clusters of different shapes in the dataset and automatically i...

The level set tree approach of Hartigan (1975) provides a probabilistically based and highly interpretable encoding of the clustering behavior of a dataset. By representing the hierarchy of data modes as a dendrogram of the level sets of a density estimator, this approach offers many advantages for exploratory analysis and clustering, especially for complex and high-dimensional data. Several R ...
