New methods for the initialisation of clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most widely used clustering techniques is the kmeans algorithm. Solutions obtained from this technique are dependent on the initialisation of cluster centres. In this article, two initialisation methods are developed. These methods are particularly suited to problems involving very large data sets. The methods have been applied to di erent data sets and good results are obtained.

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 کاملThe ensemble clustering with maximize diversity using evolutionary optimization algorithms
Data clustering is one of the main steps in data mining, which is responsible for exploring hidden patterns in non-tagged data. Due to the complexity of the problem and the weakness of the basic clustering methods, most studies today are guided by clustering ensemble methods. Diversity in primary results is one of the most important factors that can affect the quality of the final results. Also...
متن کاملImprovement of density-based clustering algorithm using modifying the density definitions and input parameter
Clustering is one of the main tasks in data mining, which means grouping similar samples. In general, there is a wide variety of clustering algorithms. One of these categories is density-based clustering. Various algorithms have been proposed for this method; one of the most widely used algorithms called DBSCAN. DBSCAN can identify clusters of different shapes in the dataset and automatically i...
متن کاملA Divise Initialisation Method for Clustering Algorithms
A method for the initialisation step of clustering algorithms is presented. It is based on the concept of cluster as a high density region of points. The search space is modelled as a set of d-dimensional cells. A sample of points is chosen and located into the appropriate cells. Cells are iteratively split as the number of points they receive increases. The regions of the search space having a...
متن کاملA New Approach in Strategy Formulation using Clustering Algorithm: An Instance in a Service Company
The ever severe dynamic competitive environment has led to increasing complexity of strategic decision making in giant organizations. Strategy formulation is one of basic processes in achieving long range goals. Since, in ordinary methods considering all factors and their significance in accomplishing individual goals are almost impossible. Here, a new approach based on clustering method is pro...
