  2. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some specific sense defined by the analyst) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters).

  3. 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]

  4. Automatic clustering algorithms - Wikipedia

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

    Automatic clustering algorithms are algorithms that can perform clustering without prior knowledge of data sets. In contrast with other cluster analysis techniques, automatic clustering algorithms can determine the optimal number of clusters even in the presence of noise and outlier points. [1] [needs context]

  5. Clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering

    Computer cluster, the technique of linking many computers together to act like a single computer; Data cluster, an allocation of contiguous storage in databases and file systems; Cluster analysis, the statistical task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are placed closer together (such as the k-means ...

  6. k-means clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering

    Cluster analysis, a fundamental task in data mining and machine learning, involves grouping a set of data points into clusters based on their similarity. k -means clustering is a popular algorithm used for partitioning data into k clusters, where each cluster is represented by its centroid.

  7. Model-based clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-based_clustering

    Model-based clustering was first invented in 1950 by Paul Lazarsfeld for clustering multivariate discrete data, in the form of the latent class model. [ 41 ] In 1959, Lazarsfeld gave a lecture on latent structure analysis at the University of California-Berkeley, where John H. Wolfe was an M.A. student.

  8. Hierarchical clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_clustering

    In data mining and statistics, hierarchical clustering (also called hierarchical cluster analysis or HCA) is a method of cluster analysis that seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters. Strategies for hierarchical clustering generally fall into two categories:

  9. Biclustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biclustering

    Biclustering, block clustering, [1] [2] Co-clustering or two-mode clustering [3] [4] [5] is a data mining technique which allows simultaneous clustering of the rows and columns of a matrix. The term was first introduced by Boris Mirkin [ 6 ] to name a technique introduced many years earlier, [ 6 ] in 1972, by John A. Hartigan .
