Considering the concept of clustering, the main idea of the present study is based on the fact that all stocks for choosing and ranking will not be necessarily in one cluster. Taking the mentioned point into account, this study aims at offering a new methodology for making decisions concerning the formation of a portfolio of stocks in the stock market. To meet this end, Multiple-Criteria Decisi...

in this paper an application of gustafson-kessel clustering algorithm is presented to create a fault detection map (fdm). five post-stack seismic attributes are extracted from a desired seismic time slice related to 3d seismic data of a gas field located in southwest of iran. to find the optimal cluster numbers, two frequently used clustering validity measures, i.e. sc and xb, are used and then...

The recent advances of array technologies have made it possible to monitor huge amount of genes expression data. Clustering, for example, hierarchical clustering, self-organizing maps (SOM), kmeans clustering, has become important analysis for such gene expression data. We have applied the Fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (Fuzzy ART) [5] to the gene clustering of DNA microarray data and the clus...

Clustering has been widely used in different fields of science, technology, social science, etc. Naturally, clusters are in arbitrary (non-convex) shapes in a dataset. One important class of clustering is distance based method. However, distance based clustering methods usually find clusters of convex shapes. Classical single-link is a distance based clustering method, which can find arbitrary ...

Traditional clustering ensembles methods combine all obtained clustering results at hand. However, we observe that it can often achieve a better clustering solution if only part of all available clustering results are combined. This paper proposes a novel clustering ensembles method, termed as resampling-based selective clustering ensembles method. The proposed selective clustering ensembles me...

the objective of this investigation was to evaluate the magnitude of g × e interaction effects on durum wheat grain yield and to identify superior genotypes adapted to the test environments. twenty improved durum wheat genotypes were tested in five locations over three growing seasons. combined anova indicated that the effect of year (y) was significant and that of the location (l) was not, but...
