Enhancing MML Clustering Using Context Data with Climate Applications

چکیده
In Minimum Message Length (MML) clustering (unsupervised classification, mixture modelling) the aim is to infer a set of classes that best explains the observed data items. There are cases where parts of the observed data do not need to be explained by the inferred classes but can be used to improve the inference and resulting predictions. Our main contribution is to provide a simple and flexible way of using such context data in MML clustering. This is done by replacing the traditional mixing proportion vector with a new context matrix. We show how our method can be used to give evidence regarding the presence of apparent long-term trends in climate-related atmospheric pressure records. Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) solutions for our model have also been implemented to compare with the MML solution.

Using Information Theory to Discover Side Chain Rotamer Classes: Analysis of the Effects of Local Backbone Structure
An understanding of the regularities in the side chain conformations of proteins and how these are related to local backbone structures is important for protein modeling and design. Previous work using regular secondary structures and regular divisions of the backbone dihedral angle data has shown that these rotamers are sensitive to the protein's local backbone conformation. In this preliminar...
متن کاملData Clustring Using A New CGA(Chaotic-Generic Algorithm) Approach
Clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. The members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. The genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. One of these applications is the clustering of images. The problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...
