Clustering function: another view on clustering coefficient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assuming that actors u and v have r common neighbors in a social network we are interested in how likely is that u and v are adjacent. This question is addressed by studying the collection of conditional probabilities, denoted cl(r), r = 0, 1, 2, . . . , that two randomly chosen actors of the social network are adjacent, given that they have r common neighbors. The function r → cl(r) describes clustering properties of the network and extends the global clustering coefficient. Our empirical study shows that the function r → cl(r) exhibits a typical sigmoid pattern. In order to better understand this pattern we establish the large scale asymptotics of cl(·) for two related random intersection graph models of affiliation networks admitting a non-vanishing global clustering coefficient. key words: Clustering coefficient, social network, affiliation network, clustering function, random intersection graph.

Improved COA with Chaotic Initialization and Intelligent Migration for Data Clustering
A well-known clustering algorithm is K-means. This algorithm, besides advantages such as high speed and ease of employment, suffers from the problem of local optima. In order to overcome this problem, a lot of studies have been done in clustering. This paper presents a hybrid Extended Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (ECOA) and K-means (K), which is called ECOA-K. The COA algorithm has advantages ...

متن کاملA new ensemble clustering method based on fuzzy cmeans clustering while maintaining diversity in ensemble
An ensemble clustering has been considered as one of the research approaches in data mining, pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence over the last decade. In clustering, the combination first produces several bases clustering, and then, for their aggregation, a function is used to create a final cluster that is as similar as possible to all the cluster bundles. The inp...
متن کاملSparse Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Clustering
Properties of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) as a clustering method are studied by relating its formulation to other methods such as K-means clustering. We show how interpreting the objective function of K-means as that of a lower rank approximation with special constraints allows comparisons between the constraints of NMF and K-means and provides the insight that some constraints can b...
متن کاملDetection of lung cancer using CT images based on novel PSO clustering
Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that cause a large number of deaths. Early detection and analysis can be very helpful for successful treatment. Image segmentation plays a key role in the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. K-means algorithm and classic PSO clustering are the most common methods for segmentation that have poor outputs. In t...
