Cluster Analysis and Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cluster analysis represents a group of methods whose aim is to classify the investigated objects into clusters. There have been suggested many new algorithms recently. This article deals with the use of an advanced method of neural network represented by Kohonen self-organizing maps for cluster analysis and describes its basis. The software Matlab 7.1 was used to present the applications of this method. We mention its possible use in economics and two case studies are discussed as well.

متن کاملA Recurrent Neural Network to Identify Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis
In this paper we present a recurrent neural network model to recognize efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The proposed neural network model is derived from an unconstrained minimization problem. In theoretical aspect, it is shown that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of lyapunov and globally convergent. The proposed model has a single-laye...

The uniformity of yarn is one of the major quality parameters which significantly influences on yarn characteristics, warping, weaving, and ultimately fabric production. This parameter depends on fiber properties and spinning process directly. In this study, yarn non-uniformity in a worsted spinning system was predicted by using a hybrid technique involving Kohonen's self-organized and percep...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model to Solve DEA Problems
The paper deals with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We believe that solving for the DEA efficiency measure, simultaneously with neural network model, provides a promising rich approach to optimal solution. In this paper, a new neural network model is used to estimate the inefficiency of DMUs in large datasets.
