Directed Binary Hierarchies and Directed Ultrametrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directed binary hierarchies have been introduced in order to give a graphical reduced representation of a family of association rules. This type of structure extends in a very specific way that underlying binary hierarchical classification. In this paper an accurate formalization of this new structure is studied. A binary directed hierarchy is defined as a set of ordered pairs of subsets of the initial individual set satisfying specific conditions. New notion of directed ultrametricity is studied. The main result consists of establishing a bijective correspondence between a directed ultrametric space and a directed binary hierarchy. Moreover, an algorithm is proposed in order to transform a directed ultrametric structure into a graphical representation associated with a directed binary hierarchy.

Hiérachies binaires et Espaces ultramétriques orientés. Résumé : Les hiérarchies binaires orientées ont été introduites pour fournir une représentation graphique orientée d’une famille de règles implicatives d’association. Une telle structure étend d’une façon très spécifique celle sous jacente aux arbres binaires hiérarchiques de classification. Nous proposons ici une formalisation précise de ce nouveau type de structure. Une hiérarchie binaire orientée est définie comme une famille de couples (ordonnés) de parties de l’ensemble à organiser remplissant des conditions spécifiques. Une nouvelle notion d’ultramétricité binaire orientée est construite. le résultat fondamental consiste en la mise en correspondance bijective entre une structure binaire ultramétrique orientée et une hiérarchie binaire orientée. De plus, un algorithme est proposé pour passer de la structure ultramétrique à celle graphique d’un arbre binaire orienté et valué.

Binary clustering
In many clustering systems (hierarchies, pyramids and more generally weak hierarchies) clusters are generated by two elements only. This paper is devoted to such clustering systems (called binary clustering systems). It provides some basic properties, links with (closed) weak hierarchies and some qualitative versions of bijection theorems that occur in Numerical Taxonomy. Moreover, a way to ass...
متن کاملThe Mathematics of Xenology: Di-cographs, Symbolic Ultrametrics, 2-structures and Tree-representable Systems of Binary Relations
The concepts of orthology, paralogy, and xenology play a key role in molecular evolution. Orthology and paralogy distinguish whether a pair of genes originated by speciation or duplication. The corresponding binary relations on a set of genes form complementary cographs. Allowing more than two types of ancestral event types leads to symmetric symbolic ultrametrics. Horizontal gene transfer, whi...
متن کاملA method for analyzing the problem of determining the maximum common fragments of temporal directed tree, that do not change with time
In this study two actual types of problems are considered and solved: 1) determining the maximum common connected fragment of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which does not change with time; 2) determining all maximum common connected fragments of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which do not change with time. The choice of the primary study of temporal directed trees and trees is justified by the wid...

متن کاملLogical Multidimensional Database Design for Ragged and Unbalanced Aggregation
Research on logical design of OLAP cubes has tended to assume that the rollup hierarchy in a cube dimension takes the form of a balanced tree. However, experience from industry indicates that a much broader class of rollup hierarchies is of interest in practice. For example, the hierarchy tree might be unbalanced or ragged (or both), or indeed the hierarchy might not be a tree at all, but a mor...
