A NOVEL SVM ENSEMBLE APPROACH USING CLUSTERING ANALYSIS

A novel Support Vector Machine(SVM) ensemble approach using clustering analysis is proposed. Firstly,the positive and negative training examples are clustered through subtractive clus-tering algorithm respectively. Then some representative examples are chosen from each of them to construct SVM components. At last,the outputs of the individual classifiers are fused through ma-jority voting method to obtain the final decision. Comparisons of performance between the proposed method and other popular ensemble approaches,such as Bagging,Adaboost and k.-fold cross valida-tion,are carried out on synthetic and UCI datasets. The experimental results show that our method has higher classification accuracy since the example distribution information is considered during en-semble through clustering analysis. It further indicates that our method needs a much smaller size of training subsets than Bagging and Adaboost to obtain satisfactory classification accuracy.

The Bio-Geographical Regions Division of Global Terrestrial Animal by Multivariate Similarity Clustering Analysis Method

A novel multivariate similarity clustering analysis (MSCA) approach was used to estimate a biogeographical division scheme for the global terrestrial fauna and was compared against other widely used clustering algorithms. The faunal dataset included almost all terrestrial and freshwater fauna, a total of 4631 families, 141,814 genera, and 1,334,834 species. Our findings demonstrated that suitable results were only obtained with the MSCA method, which was associated with distinct hierarchies, reasonable structuring, and furthermore, conformed to biogeographical criteria. A total of seven kingdoms and 20 sub-kingdoms were identified. We discovered that the clustering results for the higher and lower animals did not differ significantly, leading us to consider that the analysis result is convincing as the first zoogeographical division scheme for global all terrestrial animals.

Optimization Study of Outburst Prevention Measures for Tuzhu Coal Mine Based on Fixed Weight Clustering Analysis

Affected by many involved factors, different dimensions, data with large difference, incomplete information and so on, the most optimal selection of regional outburst prevention measures for outburst mine has become a complicated system project. The traditional way of outburst prevention measure selection belongs to qualitative method, which may cause high-cost of gas control, huge quantities of drilling work, long construction time and even secondary disaster. To solve the above-mentioned problems, in light of occurrence status of coal seam gas in No. 21 mining area of Jinzhushan Tuzhu Mine, through grey fixed weight clustering theory and a combination method of qualitative and quantitative analysis, the judging model with multi-objective classification for optimization of outburst prevention measures was established. The three weight coefficients of outburst prevention technology scheme are sorted, in order to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each outburst prevention technology scheme under the comprehensive evaluation of multi-target. Finally, the problem of quantitative selection for regional outburst prevention technology scheme is solved under the situation of multi-factor mode and incomplete information, which provides reasonable and effective technical measures for prevention of coal and gas outburst disaster.

Human distribution and spatial-temporal clustering analysis of human brucellosis in China from 2012 to 2016

Background:Brucellosis is a major public health issue in China,while its temporal and spatial distribution have not been studied in depth.This study aims to better understand the epidemiology of brucellosis in the mainland of China,by investigating the human,temporal and spatial distribution and clustering characteristics of the disease.Methods:Human brucellosis data from the mainland of China between 2012 and 2016 were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention.The spatial autocorrelation analysis of ArcGIS10.6 and the spatial-temporal scanning analysis of SaTScan software were used to identify potential changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of human brucellosis in the mainland of China during the study period.Results:A total of 244348 human brucellosis cases were reported during the study period of 2012-2016.The average incidence of human brucellosis was higher in the 40-65 age group.The temporal clustering analysis showed that the high incidence of brucellosis occurred between March and July.The spatial clustering analysis showed that the location of brucellosis clustering in the mainland of China remained relatively fixed,mainly concentrated in most parts of northern China.The results of the spatial-temporal clustering analysis showed that Heilongjiang represents a primary clustering area,and the Tibet,Shanxi and Hubei provinces represent three secondary clustering areas.Conclusions:Human brucellosis remains a widespread challenge,particularly in northern China.The clustering analysis highlights potential high-risk human groups,time frames and areas,which may require special plans and resources to monitor and control the disease.

Building climate zones of major marine islands in China defined using two-stage zoning method and clustering analysis

The current scheme of building climate zones in China generally assumes that building climate zones of island cities are identical to adjacent land stations.Consequently,building design strategies for island buildings usually refer to those developed for inland cities.This approach has to some extent hindered the energy-saving design and green development of island buildings in China.This research takes a first step on this issue by defining the building climate zones of 36 marine islands over China marine area using two-stage zoning methodology adopted by current building climate zoning standard(GB50178-1993).The meteorological data used for analysis was obtained from the National Climate Center of China over the 30-year period from 1985 to 2014.As comparison,40 coastal stations which are adjacent to the inves-tigated marine islands were also included in this study.Subsequently a more obiective techni-que-cluster analysis was operated as an effective supplement to discover the climate characteristics among different observations.The results of both methodologies consistentlyshow that among the 36 islands investigated,the majority of islands located in northern and eastern marine area belong to the same climate zones as their adjacent coastal cities.Howev-er,island cities in southern marine area cannot be assigned to any current climate zone,which was demonstrated by its distinctive climate features different from any other sites investi-gated through cluster analysis as well as different energy use patterns.Thus a new zone was defined to supplement the current building climate zoning scheme to cover marine area of China.

Estimation of crowd density from UAVs images based on corner detection procedures and clustering analysis

With rapid developments in platforms and sensors technology in terms of digital cameras and video recordings,crowd monitoring has taken a considerable attentions in many disciplines such as psychology,sociology,engineering,and computer vision.This is due to the fact that,monitoring of the crowd is necessary to enhance safety and controllable movements to minimize the risk particularly in highly crowded incidents(e.g.sports).One of the platforms that have been extensively employed in crowd monitoring is unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),because UAVs have the capability to acquiring fast,low costs,high-resolution and real-time images over crowd areas.In addition,geo-referenced images can also be provided through integration of on-board positioning sensors(e.g.GPS/IMU)with vision sensors(digital cameras and laser scanner).In this paper,a new testing procedure based on feature from accelerated segment test(FAST)algorithms is introduced to detect the crowd features from UAV images taken from different camera orientations and positions.The proposed test started with converting a circle of 16 pixels surrounding the center pixel into a vector and sorting it in ascending/descending order.A single pixel which takes the ranking number 9(for FAST-9)or 12(for FAST-12)was then compared with the center pixel.Accuracy assessment in terms of completeness and correctness was used to assess the performance of the new testing procedure before and after filtering the crowd features.The results show that the proposed algorithms are able to extract crowd features from different UAV images.Overall,the values of Completeness range from 55 to 70%whereas the range of correctness values was 91 to 94%.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABILITY OF FUZZY CLUSTERING IN ESTABLISHING AN INDEX FOR THE EVALUATION OF METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE SATISFACTION

An evaluation index is a prerequisite for the scientific evaluation of a public meteorological service.This paper aims to explore a technical method for determining and screening evaluation indicators.Based on public satisfaction survey data obtained in Wafangdian,China in 2010,this study investigates the suitability of fuzzy clustering analysis method in establishing an evaluation index.Through quantitative analysis of multilayer fuzzy clustering of various evaluation indicators,correlation analysis indicates that if the results of clustering were identical for two evaluation indicators in the same sub-evaluation layer,then one indicator could be removed,or the two indicators merged.For evaluation indicators in different sub-evaluation layers,although clustering reveals attribute correlations,these indicators may not be substituted for one another.Analysis of the applicability of the fuzzy clustering method shows that it plays a certain role in the establishment and correction of an evaluation index.
