Abstract:
The main goal of this chapter is to familiarize you with issues related to the third major task of data mining, namely cluster analysis. In particular, a number of basic definitions regarding cluster analysis and clustering are presented, and three categories of clustering techniques are discussed in detail: partition clustering, hierarchical clustering, and density-based clustering. Specific clustering algorithms such as the K-means algorithm (and its variant of the dichotomous K-means algorithm), the clustering hierarchical algorithm and the DBSCAN algorithm are then discussed. Different techniques for applying hierarchical clustering are also presented, such as the simple link (or minimum distance) technique, the full link (or maximum distance) technique, the group average technique and the Ward method.
