Comprehensive K-Means Clustering

The k-means algorithm is a popular data clustering technique due to its speed and simplicity. However, it is susceptible to issues such as sensitivity to the chosen seeds, and inaccurate clusters due to poor initial seeds, particularly in complex datasets or datasets with non-spherical clusters. In this paper, a Comprehensive K-Means Clustering algorithm is presented, in which multiple trials of k-means are performed on a given dataset. The clustering results from each trial are transformed into a five-dimensional data point, containing the scope values of the x and y coordinates of the clusters along with the number of points within that cluster. A graph is then generated displaying the configuration of these points using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), from which we can observe and determine the common clustering patterns in the dataset. The robustness and strength of these patterns are then examined by observing the variance of the results of each trial, wherein a different subset of the data keeping a certain percentage of original data points is clustered. By aggregating information from multiple trials, we can distinguish clusters that consistently emerge across different runs from those that are more sensitive or unlikely, hence deriving more reliable conclusions about the underlying structure of complex datasets. Our experiments show that our algorithm is able to find the most common associations between different dimensions of data over multiple trials, often more accurately than other algorithms, as well as measure stability of these clusters, an ability that other k-means algorithms lack.

Improved k-means clustering algorithm

In allusion to the disadvantage of having to obtain the number of clusters of data sets in advance and the sensitivity to selecting initial clustering centers in the k-means algorithm, an improved k-means clustering algorithm is proposed. First, the concept of a silhouette coefficient is introduced, and the optimal clustering number Kopt of a data set with unknown class information is confirmed by calculating the silhouette coefficient of objects in clusters under different K values. Then the distribution of the data set is obtained through hierarchical clustering and the initial clustering-centers are confirmed. Finally, the clustering is completed by the traditional k-means clustering. By the theoretical analysis, it is proved that the improved k-means clustering algorithm has proper computational complexity. The experimental results of IRIS testing data set show that the algorithm can distinguish different clusters reasonably and recognize the outliers efficiently, and the entropy generated by the algorithm is lower.

Hierarchical hesitant fuzzy K-means clustering algorithm

Due to the limitation and hesitation in one＇s knowledge, the membership degree of an element to a given set usually has a few different values, in which the conventional fuzzy sets are invalid.

The present paper focuses on investigating the clustering technique for hesitant fuzzy sets based on the K-means clustering algorithm which takes the results of hierarchical clustering as the initial clusters.

An efficient enhanced k-means clustering algorithm

In k-means clustering, we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space R^d and an integer k and the problem is to determine a set of k points in R^d, called centers, so as to minimize the mean squared distance from each data point to its nearest center. In this paper, we present a simple and efficient clustering algorithm based on the k-means algorithm, which we call enhanced k-means algorithm. This algorithm is easy to implement, requiring a simple data structure to keep some information in each iteration to be used in the next iteration. Our experimental results demonstrated that our scheme can improve the computational speed of the k-means algorithm by the magnitude in the total number of distance calculations and the overall time of computation.

Blind source separation by weighted K-means clustering

Blind separation of sparse sources （BSSS） is discussed. The BSSS method based on the conventional K-means clustering is very fast and is also easy to implement. However, the accuracy of this method is generally not satisfactory. The contribution of the vector x（t） with different modules is theoretically proved to be unequal, and a weighted K-means clustering method is proposed on this grounds. The proposed algorithm is not only as fast as the conventional K-means clustering method, but can also achieve considerably accurate results, which is demonstrated by numerical experiments.

K-MEANS CLUSTERING FOR CLASSIFICATION OF THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS

Based on the Joint Typhoon Warning Center(JTWC) best-track dataset between 1965 and 2009 and the characteristic parameters including tropical cyclone(TC) position,intensity,path length and direction,a method for objective classification of the Northwestern Pacific tropical cyclone tracks is established by using k-means Clustering.The TC lifespan,energy,active season and landfall probability of seven clusters of tropical cyclone tracks are comparatively analyzed.The characteristics of these parameters are quite different among different tropical cyclone track clusters.From the trend of the past two decades,the frequency of the western recurving cluster(accounting for 21.3% of the total) increased,and the lifespan elongated slightly,which differs from the other clusters.The annual variation of the Power Dissipation Index(PDI) of most clusters mainly depended on the TC intensity and frequency.However,the annual variation of the PDI in the northwestern moving then recurving cluster and the pelagic west-northwest moving cluster mainly depended on the frequency.

Geochemical and Geostatistical Studies for Estimating Gold Grade in Tarq Prospect Area by K-Means Clustering Method

Tarq geochemical 1:100,000 Sheet is located in Isfahan province which is investigated by Iran’s Geological and Explorations Organization using stream sediment analyzes. This area has stratigraphy of Precambrian to Quaternary rocks and is located in the Central Iran zone. According to the presence of signs of gold mineralization in this area, it is necessary to identify important mineral areas in this area. Therefore, finding information is necessary about the relationship and monitoring the elements of gold, arsenic, and antimony relative to each other in this area to determine the extent of geochemical halos and to estimate the grade. Therefore, a well-known and useful K-means method is used for monitoring the elements in the present study, this is a clustering method based on minimizing the total Euclidean distances of each sample from the center of the classes which are assigned to them. In this research, the clustering quality function and the utility rate of the sample have been used in the desired cluster (S(i)) to determine the optimum number of clusters. Finally, with regard to the cluster centers and the results, the equations were used to predict the amount of the gold element based on four parameters of arsenic and antimony grade, length and width of sampling points.

Classification of Northeast China Cold Vortex Activity Paths in Early Summer Based on K-means Clustering and Their Climate Impact

The classification of the Northeast China Cold Vortex(NCCV)activity paths is an important way to analyze its characteristics in detail.Based on the daily precipitation data of the northeastern China(NEC)region,and the atmospheric circulation field and temperature field data of ERA-Interim for every six hours,the NCCV processes during the early summer(June)seasons from 1979 to 2018 were objectively identified.Then,the NCCV processes were classified using a machine learning method(k-means)according to the characteristic parameters of the activity path information.The rationality of the classification results was verified from two aspects,as follows:(1)the atmospheric circulation configuration of the NCCV on various paths;and(2)its influences on the climate conditions in the NEC.The obtained results showed that the activity paths of the NCCV could be divided into four types according to such characteristics as the generation origin,movement direction,and movement velocity of the NCCV.These included the generation-eastward movement type in the east of the Mongolia Plateau(eastward movement type or type A);generation-southeast longdistance movement type in the upstream of the Lena River(southeast long-distance movement type or type B);generationeastward less-movement type near Lake Baikal(eastward less-movement type or type C);and the generation-southward less-movement type in eastern Siberia(southward less-movement type or type D).There were obvious differences observed in the atmospheric circulation configuration and the climate impact of the NCCV on the four above-mentioned types of paths,which indicated that the classification results were reasonable.

Investigation of the J-TEXT plasma events by k-means clustering algorithm

Various types of plasma events emerge in specific parameter ranges and exhibit similar characteristics in diagnostic signals,which can be applied to identify these events.A semisupervised machine learning algorithm,the k-means clustering algorithm,is utilized to investigate and identify plasma events in the J-TEXT plasma.This method can cluster diverse plasma events with homogeneous features,and then these events can be identified if given few manually labeled examples based on physical understanding.A survey of clustered events reveals that the k-means algorithm can make plasma events(rotating tearing mode,sawtooth oscillations,and locked mode)gathering in Euclidean space composed of multi-dimensional diagnostic data,like soft x-ray emission intensity,edge toroidal rotation velocity,the Mirnov signal amplitude and so on.Based on the cluster analysis results,an approximate analytical model is proposed to rapidly identify plasma events in the J-TEXT plasma.The cluster analysis method is conducive to data markers of massive diagnostic data.

K-means Find Density Peaks in Molecular Conformation Clustering

Performing cluster analysis on molecular conformation is an important way to find the representative conformation in the molecular dynamics trajectories.Usually,it is a critical step for interpreting complex conformational changes or interaction mechanisms.As one of the density-based clustering algorithms,find density peaks(FDP)is an accurate and reasonable candidate for the molecular conformation clustering.However,facing the rapidly increasing simulation length due to the increase in computing power,the low computing efficiency of FDP limits its application potential.Here we propose a marginal extension to FDP named K-means find density peaks(KFDP)to solve the mass source consuming problem.In KFDP,the points are initially clustered by a high efficiency clustering algorithm,such as K-means.Cluster centers are defined as typical points with a weight which represents the cluster size.Then,the weighted typical points are clustered again by FDP,and then are refined as core,boundary,and redefined halo points.In this way,KFDP has comparable accuracy as FDP but its computational complexity is reduced from O(n^(2))to O(n).We apply and test our KFDP method to the trajectory data of multiple small proteins in terms of torsion angle,secondary structure or contact map.The comparing results with K-means and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise show the validation of the proposed KFDP.
