- PublicationEvaluation of Clustering Results in the Aspect of Information Theory(2020)Clustering is the process of finding possible groups in a given set, taking into account the signs of similarity or difference between the elements of this set. In cluster analysis, it is necessary to classify the data in some way or to find regularities in given data, therefore the concept of “regularity” is gaining more and more importance in the context of intelligent data processing systems. It is necessary to find out how the data are related to each other, what is the similarity or difference of different data, what is the measure of comparison of these data. For such purposes, various clustering algorithms can be used, which divide the data into groups according to certain criteria - metrics. Metric in this context means the distance between the points in the cluster. The existing methods of entropy clustering is an information-theoretical approach to the problem of clustering. In the work the evaluation of clustering quality was performed with the help of clustering quality criteria and in the context of information theory concepts.
- PublicationThe Concept of Ontology for Numerical Data Clustering(2013)Classical clustering algorithms have been studied quite well, they are used for the numerical data grouping in similar structures - clusters. Similar objects are placed in the same cluster, different objects – in another cluster. All classical clustering algorithms have common characteristics, their successful choice defines the clustering results. The most important clustering parameters are following: clustering algorithms, metrics, the initial number of clusters, clustering validation criteria. In recent years there is a strong tendency of the possibility to get the rules from clusters. Semantic knowledge is not used in classical clustering algorithms. This creates difficulties in interpreting the results of clustering. Currently, the possibilities to use ontology increase rapidly, that allows to get knowledge of a specific data model. In the frames of this work the ontology concept, prototype development for numerical data clustering, which includes the most important characteristics of clustering performance have been analyzed.

As a possible solution, there could be the use of package IBM SPSS Statistics and Modeler in realization of different algorithms for IT studies. Series of research were carried out in order to demonstrate the suitability of the IBM SPSS for the purpose of visualization of various simulation models of some data mining disciplines – particularly cluster analysis. Students are very interested in modern data mining methods, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and clustering. Clustering methods are often undeservedly forgotten, although the implementation of their algorithms is relatively simple and can be implemented even for students. In the research part of the study the modelling capabilities in data mining studies, clustering algorithms and real examples are demonstrated.
- PublicationDifferent Approaches to Clustering – Cassini Ovals(2017)Classical cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping of a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups or clusters. There are many clustering algorithms for solving different tasks. In the research, an interesting method – Cassini oval – has been identified. The ovals of Cassini are defined to be the sets of points in the plane for which the product of the distances to two fixed points is constants. Cassini ovals are named after the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini who studied them in 1680. Cassini elieved that the Sun travelled around the Earth on one of these ovals, with the Earth at one focus of the oval. Other names include Cassinian ovals. A family of military applications of increasing importance is detection of a mobile target intruding into a protected area potentially well suited for this type of application of Cassini style method. The hypothesis is proposed that the Cassini ovals could be used for clustering purposes. The main aim of the research is to ascertain the suitability of Cassini ovals for clustering purposes.
- PublicationAPPLICATION OF CLUSTERING METHOD IN THE RBF NEURAL NETWORKS(2001)This paper describes one of classification algorithms, cluster analysis, that plays a significant role in the implementation of learning algorithm as applied to RBF-type artificial mural networks. The mathematical description of the K-means clustering algorithm is given and its implementation is demonstrated by experiment.
- PublicationApplication of Fuzzy Rule Base Design Method(2016)In many classification tasks the final goal is usually to determine classes of objects. The final goal of fuzzy clustering is also the distribution of elements with highest membership functions into classes. The key issue is the possibility of extracting fuzzy rules that describe clustering results. The paper develops a method of fuzzy rule base designing for the numerical data, which enables extracting fuzzy rules in the form IFTHEN. To obtain the membership functions, the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is employed. The described methodology of fuzzy rule base designing allows one to classify the data. The practical part contains implementation examples.
- PublicationPOSSIBILITIES OF PERFORMING BANKRUPTCY DATA ANALYSIS USING TIME SERIES CLUSTERING(2010)Prediction of corporate bankruptcy is a study topic of great interest.Under the conditions of the modern free market, early diagnostics of unfavourabledevelopment trends of company’s activity or bankruptcy becomes a matter ofgreat importance. There is no general method which would allow one to forecastunfavourable consequence with a high confidence degree. This paper focuses onthe analysis of the approaches that can be used to perform an early bankruptcydiagnostics- in previous research multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA), neuralnetwork based approach and rule extraction method have been examined. Lately,time series clustering approach has become popular and its feasibility forbankruptcy data analysis is being investigated. Experiments carried out validatethe use of such methods in the given class of tasks. As a novelty, an attempt toapply time series clustering method to the analysis of bankruptcy data is made.
