Abstract
Clustering is an unsupervised classification technique for data analysis. In general, each datum in real space is transformed into a point in a pattern space to apply clustering methods. Data cannot often be represented by a point, however, because of its uncertainty, e.g., measurement error margin and missing values in data. In this paper, we will introduce quadratic penalty-vector regularization to handle such uncertain data using Hard c-Means (HCM), which is one of the most typical clustering algorithms. We first propose a new clustering algorithm called hard c-means using quadratic penalty-vector regularization for uncertain data (HCMP). Second, we propose sequential extraction hard c-means using quadratic penalty-vector regularization (SHCMP) to handle datasets whose cluster number is unknown. Furthermore, we verify the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms through numerical examples.
