TLDR
Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm takes a significantly reduced time in computation with comparable performance against the partitioning around medoids.
Abstract
This paper proposes a new algorithm for K-medoids clustering which runs like the K-means algorithm and tests several methods for selecting initial medoids. The proposed algorithm calculates the distance matrix once and uses it for finding new medoids at every iterative step. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we use some real and artificial data sets and compare with the results of other algorithms in terms of the adjusted Rand index. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm takes a significantly reduced time in computation with comparable performance against the partitioning around medoids.

On the Persistence of Clustering Solutions and True Number of Clusters in a Dataset

TL;DR: A notion of persistence of clustering solutions that enables comparing solutions with different number of clusters is quantified; the persistence relates to the range of data-resolution scales over which a clustering solution persists; it is quantification in terms of the maximum over two-norms of all the associated cluster-covariance matrices.

Feasibility of an MRI-only workflow for postimplant dosimetry of low-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy: Transition from phantoms to patients.

TL;DR: The proposed susceptibility-based algorithm generated consistent positive contrast for the seeds in phantoms and patients and has great potential to replace the current CT-based practices.

Self-Adjusting Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Near-Optimal k-Means Clustering

TL;DR: This article investigates the influence of the most important parameter of randomized neighborhoods formed by the application of greedy agglomerative procedures on the computational efficiency of VNS algorithms and proposes a new VNS-based algorithm (solver), implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU), which adjusts this parameter.

Rearrangement Scenarios Guided by Chromatin Structure

TL;DR: This paper makes an initial effort towards computing scenarios that respect chromosome conformation, by using Hi-C data to guide the computations of Minimum Local Parsimonious Scenario, and shows that the quality of a clustering of the adjacencies based on Hi- C data is directly correlated to thequality of a rearrangement scenario that is computed.

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations

TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.

Silhouettes: a graphical aid to the interpretation and validation of cluster analysis

TL;DR: A new graphical display is proposed for partitioning techniques, where each cluster is represented by a so-called silhouette, which is based on the comparison of its tightness and separation, and provides an evaluation of clustering validity.

Finding Groups in Data

TL;DR: In this article, an electrical signal transmission system for railway locomotives and rolling stock is proposed, where a basic pulse train is transmitted whereof the pulses are of a selected first amplitude and represent a train axle count, and a spike pulse of greater selected amplitude is transmitted, occurring immediately after the axle count pulse to which it relates, whenever an overheated axle box is detected.
