A New Dissimilarity Measure for Clustering Seismic Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypocenter and focal mechanism of an earthquake can be determined by the analysis of signals, named waveforms, related to the wave field produced and recorded by a seismic network. Assuming that waveform similarity implies the similarity of focal parameters, the analysis of those signals characterized by very similar shapes can be used to give important details about the physical phenomena which have generated an earthquake. Recent works have shown the effectiveness of cross-correlation and/or cross-spectral dissimilarities to identify clusters of seismic events. In this work we propose a new dissimilarity measure between seismic signals whose reliability has been tested on real seismic data by computing external and internal validation indices on the obtained clustering. Results show its superior quality in terms of cluster homogeneity and computational time with respect to the largely adopted cross correlation dissimilarity.

Background: The clustering of gene expression data plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. These kinds of data are typically involve in a large number of variables (genes), in comparison with number of samples (patients). Many clustering methods have been built based on the dissimilarity among observations that are calculated by a distance function. As increa...

The authors are to be congratulated for a systematic investigation of the accurate and non subjective classifying approach in seismic research. The authors have conducted several clustering algorithms to the seismic event records from Volcanological and Seismological Observatory at Manizales. Their objective was to improve the grouping of seismic data (i.e., volcano-tectonic earthquakes, long-p...
متن کاملClustering with Intelligent Linexk-Means
The intelligent LINEX k-means clustering is a generalization of the k-means clustering so that the number of clusters and their related centroid can be determined while the LINEX loss function is considered as the dissimilarity measure. Therefore, the selection of the centers in each cluster is not randomly. Choosing the LINEX dissimilarity measure helps the researcher to overestimate or undere...
متن کاملA partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems
Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...
متن کاملA dissimilarity measure for the k-Modes clustering algorithm
Clustering is one of the most important data mining techniques that partitions data according to some similarity criterion. The problems of clustering categorical data have attracted much attention from the data mining research community recently. As the extension of the k-Means algorithm, the k-Modes algorithm has been widely applied to categorical data clustering by replacing means with modes...
