Clustering using difference criterion of distortion ratios

Authors Info & Claims
Published:08 September 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

Clustering using a difference criterion of distortion-ratios on clusters is investigated for data sets with large statistical differences of class data, where K-Means algorithm (KMA) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) cannot necessarily reveal the good performance. After obtaining cluster centers by KMA or LVQ, a split and merge procedure with the difference criterion is executed. Focusing on an interesting data set which is not resolved by KMA or LVQ, some experimental clustering results based on the difference criterion and the split and merge procedure are provided.
