  2. Medoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medoid

    This is different from k-means clustering, where the center isn't a real data point, but instead can lie between data points. We use the medoid to group “clusters” of data, which is obtained by finding the element with minimal average dissimilarity to all other objects in the cluster. [23] Although the visualization example used utilizes k ...

Includes elevation models, land cover, seismology, etc. The Geospatial Platform: Search for and download a wide variety of datasets from this portal developed by the member agencies of the Federal Geographic Data Committee through collaboration with partners and stakeholders.

  4. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Educational data mining Cluster analysis is for example used to identify groups of schools or students with similar properties. Typologies From poll data, projects such as those undertaken by the Pew Research Center use cluster analysis to discern typologies of opinions, habits, and demographics that may be useful in politics and marketing.

  5. Center of population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_population

    The data used by this figure is lumped at the country level, and is therefore precise only to country-scale distances. In demographics, the center of population (or population center) of a region is a geographical point that describes a centerpoint of the region's population. There are several ways of defining such a "center point", leading to ...

  6. Determining the number of clusters in a data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determining_the_number_of...

    The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest. [8]

  7. OPTICS algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPTICS_algorithm

    Ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) is an algorithm for finding density-based [1] clusters in spatial data. It was presented by Mihael Ankerst, Markus M. Breunig, Hans-Peter Kriegel and Jörg Sander. [ 2 ]

  8. Automatic clustering algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Clustering...

    Another method that modifies the k-means algorithm for automatically choosing the optimal number of clusters is the G-means algorithm. It was developed from the hypothesis that a subset of the data follows a Gaussian distribution. Thus, k is increased until each k-means center's data is Gaussian. This algorithm only requires the standard ...

  9. DBSCAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBSCAN

    DBSCAN is not entirely deterministic: border points that are reachable from more than one cluster can be part of either cluster, depending on the order the data are processed. For most data sets and domains, this situation does not arise often and has little impact on the clustering result: [ 4 ] both on core points and noise points, DBSCAN is ...
