Density Peak Clustering Based on Relative Density Optimization

الملخص EN

Among numerous clustering algorithms, clustering by fast search and find of density peaks (DPC) is favoured because it is less affected by shapes and density structures of the data set.

However, DPC still shows some limitations in clustering of data set with heterogeneity clusters and easily makes mistakes in assignment of remaining points.

The new algorithm, density peak clustering based on relative density optimization (RDO-DPC), is proposed to settle these problems and try obtaining better results.

With the help of neighborhood information of sample points, the proposed algorithm defines relative density of the sample data and searches and recognizes density peaks of the nonhomogeneous distribution as cluster centers.

A new assignment strategy is proposed to solve the abundance classification problem.

The experiments on synthetic and real data sets show good performance of the proposed algorithm.
