ABSTRACT
Many clustering techniques are highly dependent on the initialization. The introduction of membership degrees used in fuzzy logic, avoids local minima, however the global minimum is far from satisfactory, especially when dealing with clusters with varying density. Here we propose an initialization method combining distance and density in order to approach as near as possible the final cluster centroids. Comparisons are given with KKZ method.

A new initialization method for categorical data clustering
In clustering algorithms, choosing a subset of representative examples is very important in data set. Such ''exemplars'' can be found by randomly choosing an initial subset of data objects and then iteratively refining it, but this works well only if ...

We considered the initialization of K-modes clustering from the view of outlier detection.We proposed an initialization algorithm for K-modes clustering via the distance-based outlier detection technique.We presented a partition entropy-based outlier ...
Robust Clustering with Distance and Density
Clustering is fundamental for using big data. However, AP affinity propagation is not good at non-convex datasets, and the input parameter has a marked impact on DBSCAN density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise. Moreover, new ...
