AbstractThe quality of data is an important task in the data mining. The validity of mining algorithms is reduced if data is not of good quality. The quality of data can be assessed in terms of missing values (MV) as well as noise present in the data set. Various imputation techniques have been studied in MV study, but little attention has been given on noise in earlier work. Moreover, to the best of knowledge, no one has used density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) clustering for MV imputation. This paper proposes a novel technique density-based imputation (DBSCANI) built on density-based clustering to deal with incomplete values in the presence of noise. Density-based clustering algorithm proposed by Kriegal groups the objects according to their density in spatial data bases. The high-density regions are known as clusters, and the low-density regions refer to the noise objects in the data set. A lot of experiments have been performed on the Iris data set from life science domain and Jain’s (2D) data set from shape data sets. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) as well as it is compared with existing K-means imputation (KMI). Results show that our method is more noise resistant than KMI on data sets used under study.

Data mining technology has emerged as a means of identifying patterns and trends from large amounts of data and is a computing intelligence area that provides tools for data analysis, new knowledge discovery, and autonomous decision making. Data clustering is an important problem in many areas. Fuzzy C-Means(FCM)[11,12,13] is a very important clustering technique based on fuzzy logic. DBSCAN(Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise)[8] is a density-based clustering algorithm that is suitable for dealing with spatial data including noise and is a collection of arbitrary shapes and sizes. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of Fuzzy C-Means and DBSCAN algorithms in different data sets.

Most traditional clustering algorithms are limited to handle data sets that contain either continuous or categorical variables. However data sets with mixed types of variables are commonly used in data mining field. In this paper we introduce a weighted self-organizing map for clustering, analysis and visualization mixed data (continuous/binary). The learning of weights and prototypes is done in a simultaneous manner assuring an optimized data clustering. More variables has a high weight, more the clustering algorithm will take into account the informations transmitted by these variables. The learning of these topological maps is combined with a weighting process of different variables by computing weights which influence the quality of clustering. We illustrate the power of this method with data sets taken from a public data set repository: a handwritten digit data set, Zoo data set and other three mixed data sets. The results show a good quality of the topological ordering and homogenous clustering.

With rapid development of space information crawl technology, different types of spatial database and data size of spatial database increases continuously. How to extract valuable information from complicated spatial data has become an urgent issue. Spatial data mining provides a new thought for solving the problem. The paper introduces fuzzy clustering into spatial data clustering field, studies the method that fuzzy set theory is applied to spatial data mining, proposes spatial clustering algorithm based on fuzzy similar matrix, fuzzy similarity clustering algorithm. The algorithm not only can solve the disadvantage that fuzzy clustering cant process large data set, but also can give similarity measurement between objects.

<span id="docs-internal-guid-919b015d-7fff-56da-f81d-8f032097bce2"><span>Dealing with large samples of unlabeled data is a key challenge in today’s world, especially in applications such as traffic pattern analysis and disaster management. DBSCAN, or density based spatial clustering of applications with noise, is a well-known density-based clustering algorithm. Its key strengths lie in its capability to detect outliers and handle arbitrarily shaped clusters. However, the algorithm, being fundamentally sequential in nature, proves expensive and time consuming when operated on extensively large data chunks. This paper thus presents a novel implementation of a parallel and distributed DBSCAN algorithm on the HPCC Systems platform. The algorithm seeks to fully parallelize the algorithm implementation by making use of HPCC Systems optimal distributed architecture and performing a tree-based union to merge local clusters. The proposed approach* was tested both on synthetic as well as standard datasets (MFCCs Data Set) and found to be completely accurate. Additionally, when compared against a single node setup, a significant decrease in computation time was observed with no impact to accuracy. The parallelized algorithm performed eight times better for higher number of data points and takes exponentially lesser time as the number of data points increases.</span></span>

Abstract Data quality became significant with the emergence of data warehouse systems. While accuracy is intrinsic data quality, validity of data presents a wider perspective, which is more representational and contextual in nature. Through our article we present a different perspective in data collection and collation. We focus on faults experienced in data sets and present validity as a function of allied parameters such as completeness, usability, availability and timeliness for determining the data quality. We also analyze the applicability of these metrics and apply modifications to make it conform to IoT applications. Another major focus of this article is to verify these metrics on aggregated data set instead of separate data values. This work focuses on using the different validation parameters for determining the quality of data generated in a pervasive environment. Analysis approach presented is simple and can be employed to test the validity of collected data, isolate faults in the data set and also measure the suitability of data before applying algorithms for analysis.

An adaptive spatial clustering (ASC) algorithm is proposed that employs sweep-circle techniques and a dynamic threshold setting based on Gestalt theory to detect spatial clusters. The proposed algorithm can automatically discover clusters in one pass, rather than through the modification of the initial model (for example, a minimal spanning tree, Delaunay triangulation, or Voronoi diagram). It can quickly identify arbitrarily shaped clusters while adapting efficiently to non-homogeneous density characteristics of spatial data, without the need of priori knowledge or parameters. The proposed algorithm is also ideal for use in data streaming technology with dynamic characteristics flowing in the form of spatial clustering large data sets.

The rapid developments in the availability and access to spatially referenced information in a variety of areas, has induced the need for better analysis techniques to understand the various phenomena. In particular, spatial clustering algorithms, which group similar spatial objects into classes, can be used for the identification of areas sharing common characteristics. The aim of this chapter is to present a density based algorithm for the discovery of clusters of units in large spatial data sets (MDBSCAN). This algorithm is a modification of the DBSCAN algorithm (see Ester (1996)). The modifications regard the consideration of spatial and non spatial variables and the use of a Lagrange-Chebychev metrics instead of the usual Euclidean one. The applications concern a synthetic data set and a data set of satellite images

Nowadays, data cleaning solutions are very essential for the large amount of data handling users in an industry and others. The data were collected from Retail Marketing sale data in terms of the mentioned attributes. Normally, data cleaning, deals with detecting, outlier detection, removing errors and inconsistencies from data in order to improve the quality of data. There are number of frameworks to handle the noisy data and inconsistencies in the market. While traditional data integration problems can deal with single data sources at instance level. The Hierarchical clusters and DBSCAN clusters were grouped with related similarities, analysis and Time taken to build model in different cluster mode was experimented using WEKA tool. It also focuses on different input retail marketing data by timecalculated analysis. Clustering is one of the basic techniques often used in analyzing data sets. The Hierarchical and DBSCAN clustering Advantage and disadvantage also discussed.
