Clustering and Interpretation on Real Nutritional Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nutritional Genomics studies diet-gene-disease interactions and aims to promote health and disease prevention. It is based on the idea that everything ingested into a person’s body affects the genome of the individual and, therefore, both genes and nutrients modify the same metabolic processes. This paper presents an application of clustering and interpretation over real heterogeneous data coming from a nutritional study. The individuals are clustered by their diet and physical activity habits and the resulting clustering is interpreted. This work is part of a methodology to deal with data from dietary intervention studies.

Oil Reservoirs Classification Using Fuzzy Clustering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...
متن کاملModified Convex Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers
Knowing the fact that the main weakness of the most standard methods including k-means and hierarchical data clustering is their sensitivity to initialization and trapping to local minima, this paper proposes a modification of convex data clustering in which there is no need to be peculiar about how to select initial values. Due to properly converting the task of optimization to an equivalent...

In this work, a hierarchical ensemble of projected clustering algorithm for high-dimensional data is proposed. The basic concept of the algorithm is based on the active learning method (ALM) which is a fuzzy learning scheme, inspired by some behavioral features of human brain functionality. High-dimensional unsupervised active learning method (HUALM) is a clustering algorithm which blurs the da...

Background: Advances in information technology and data collection methods have enabled high-speed collection and storage of huge amounts of data. Data mining can be used to derive laws from large data volumes and their characteristics. Similarly, fuzzy logic by facilitating the understanding of events is considered a suitable complement to scientific data mining. Materials and Methods: The pre...
متن کاملA Hybrid Data Clustering Algorithm Using Modified Krill Herd Algorithm and K-MEANS
Data clustering is the process of partitioning a set of data objects into meaning clusters or groups. Due to the vast usage of clustering algorithms in many fields, a lot of research is still going on to find the best and efficient clustering algorithm. K-means is simple and easy to implement, but it suffers from initialization of cluster center and hence trapped in local optimum. In this paper...
