Prachi M. Joshi, Dr. Parag A. Kulkarni . A Novel Approach for Clustering based on Pattern Analysis. International Journal of Computer Applications. 25, 4 ( July 2011), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/3023-4089
Clustering aims at grouping of data into clusters based on the similarity between them. It is the pattern of the data that governs grouping. In this paper, we propose method for clustering that is based on finding closeness between the data series. A novel method referred as Clustering with Closeness factor (CCF) is proposed that works in two phases and is not pre-bound with clusters numbers. The method identifies the pattern of data and performs clustering. With proper selection of threshold value, the approach can prove to be a big step for decision making.
