Ant Based Clustering of MMPI Data - An Experimental Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research concerns psychometric data coming from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test. MMPI is one of the most frequently used in clinical mental health personality tests as well as psychopathology (mental and behavioral disorders). We are developing the Copernicus system. It is a tool for the analysis of MMPI profiles of patients with mental disorders. In this system, there have been selected and implemented different quantitative groups of methods useful for differential interprofile diagnosis. In the paper, we investigate clustering of MMPI data using one of nature-inspired heuristic approaches ant based clustering. For this approach, we test usefulness of different dissimilarity measures of MMPI profiles both standard and those defined in the professional domain literature.

Hybrid ANFIS with ant colony optimization algorithm for prediction of shear wave velocity from a carbonate reservoir in Iran
Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...
متن کاملTabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...
متن کاملAnt-MST: An Ant-Based Minimum Spanning Tree for Gene Expression Data Clustering
We have proposed an ant-based clustering algorithm for document clustering based on the travelling salesperson scenario. In this paper, we presented an approach called Ant-MST for gene expression data clustering based on both ant-based clustering and minimum spanning trees (MST). The ant-based clustering algorithm is firstly used to construct a fully connected network of nodes. Each node repres...
متن کاملAn Ant-Colony Optimization Clustering Model for Cellular Automata Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
High efficient routing is an important issue for the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) protocols to meet the severe hardware and resource constraints. This paper presents an inclusive evolutionary reinforcement method. The proposed approach is a combination of Cellular Automata (CA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) techniques in order to create collision-free trajectories for every agent...
متن کاملA Document of Ant Clustering By the Result of Topographic Mapping Intention
The clustering and topographic mapping is a motivated model for explaining two types of developing behavior observed in real ant colonies. Existing work demonstrated some promising characteristics of the heuristic but did not extend to a rigorous investigation of its capabilities. We are using an Improved Technique called ATTA includes adaptive, heterogeneous ants, a time-dependent transporting...
