Arrays allow simultaneous measurements of the expression levels of thousands of mRNAs. By mining this data one can identify sets of genes with similar profiles. We show that information theoretic methods are capable of modeling and assessing dissimilarities between the dynamics underlying to the...

Purpose: This study proposes a new two-stage clustering method to break down the symmetric multiple traveling salesman problem (mTSP) into several single standard traveling salesman problems, each of which can then be solved separately using a heuristic optimization algorithm....

Expectation Maximization (EM) is a widely employed mixture model-based data clustering algorithm and produces exceptionally good results. However, many researchers reported that the EM algorithm requires huge computational efforts than other clustering algorithms. This paper presents an...

The purpose of this article is to weigh up the foremost imperative features of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This study is based mostly on three cluster techniques like; K means, Fuzzy c-means and hierarchical clustering. The authors used evolutionary techniques like genetic algorithms (GA) to...

Big data analytics with the cloud computing are one of the emerging area for processing and analytics. Fog computing is the paradigm where fog devices help to reduce latency and increase throughput for assisting at the edge of the client. This article discusses the emergence of fog computing for...

Data clustering is a key field of research in the pattern recognition arena. Although clustering is an unsupervised learning technique, numerous efforts have been made in both hard and soft clustering. In hard clustering, K-means is the most popular method and is being used in diversified...

An important and yet unsolved problem in unsupervised data clustering is how to determine the number of clusters. The proposed slope statistic is a non-parametric and data driven approach for estimating the number of clusters in a dataset. This technique uses the output of any clustering...

Minimum sum-of-squares clustering consists in partitioning a given set of n points into c clusters in order to minimize the sum of squared distances from the points to the centroid of their cluster. Recently, Sherali and Desai (JOGO, 2005) proposed a reformulation-linearization based...
