1 What is Clustering? Clustering Tpes of Data in Cluster Analsis Clustering A Categorization of Major Clustering Methods Partitioning Methods Hierarchical Methods What is Clustering? Clustering of data is a method b which large sets of data are grouped into clusters of smaller sets of similar data. Cluster: a collection of data objects Similar to one another within the same cluster Dissimilar to the objects in other clusters Clustering is unsupervised classification: no predefined classes Tpical applications What is Clustering? As a stand-alone tool to get insight into data distribution As a preprocessing step for other algorithms Use cluster detection when ou suspect that there are natural groupings that ma represent groups of customers or products that have lot in common. When there are man competing patterns in the data, making it hard to spot a single pattern, creating clusters of similar records reduces the compleit within clusters so that other data mining techniques are more likel to succeed.
2 Eamples of Clustering Applications Marketing: Help marketers discover distinct groups in their customer bases, and then use this knowledge to develop targeted marketing programs Land use: Identification of areas of similar land use in an earth observation database Insurance: Identifing groups of motor insurance polic holders with a high average claim cost Cit-planning: Identifing groups of houses according to their house tpe, value, and geographical location Earth-quake studies: Observed earth quake epicenters should be clustered along continent faults Clustering definition Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, and a similarit measure among them, find clusters such that: data points in one cluster are more similar to one another (high intra-class similarit) data points in separate clusters are less similar to one another (low inter-class similarit ) Similarit measures: e.g. Euclidean distance if attributes are continuous. Requirements of Clustering in Data Mining Notion of a Cluster is Ambiguous Scalabilit Abilit to deal with different tpes of attributes Discover of clusters with arbitrar shape Minimal requirements for domain knowledge to determine input parameters Able to deal with noise and outliers Insensitive to order of input records High dimensionalit Incorporation of user-specified constraints Interpretabilit and usabilit Initial points. Two Clusters Si Clusters Four Clusters
3 Clustering What is Cluster Analsis? Tpes of Data in Cluster Analsis A Categorization of Major Clustering Methods Data Matri Represents n objects with p variables (attributes, measures) A relational table Partitioning Methods Hierarchical Methods M i M n L M L M L f M if M nf L M L M L p M ip M np Dissimilarit Matri Proimities of pairs of objects d(i,j): dissimilarit between objects i and j Nonnegative Close to : similar d(,) d(,) d(,) M M M d(n,) d(n,) L L Tpe of data in clustering analsis Continuous variables Binar variables Nominal and ordinal variables Variables of mied tpes
4 Continuous variables To avoid dependence on the choice of measurement units the data should be standardized. Standardize data Calculate the mean absolute deviation: s f = n ( f m + m m ) f f f nf f where m =... ) n ( + + f f f + nf Calculate the standardized measurement (z-score) z if = if m f s f Using mean absolute deviation is more robust than using standard deviation. Since the deviations are not squared the effect of outliers is somewhat reduced but their z-scores do not become to small; therefore, the outliers remain detectable. Similarit/Dissimilarit Between Objects Distances are normall used to measure the similarit or dissimilarit between two data objects Euclidean distance is probabl the most commonl chosen tpe of distance. It is the geometric distance in the multidimensional space: Properties d(i,j) d(i,i) = d(i,j) = d(j,i) d(i, j) d(i,j) d(i,k) + d(k,j) = k p = ( ki ) kj Similarit/Dissimilarit Between Objects Similarit/Dissimilarit Between Objects Cit-block (Manhattan) distance. This distance is simpl the sum of differences across dimensions. In most cases, this distance measure ields results similar to the Euclidean distance. However, note that in this measure, the effect of single large differences (outliers) is dampened (since the are not squared). d(i, j) = i j + i j ip jp The properties stated for the Euclidean distance also hold for this measure. Minkowski distance. Sometimes one ma want to increase or decrease the progressive weight that is placed on dimensions on which the respective objects are ver different. This measure enables to accomplish that and is computed as: d(i, j) = i q j + i q j ip q q jp
5 Similarit/Dissimilarit Between Objects Binar Variables Binar variable has onl two states: or If we have some idea of the relative importance that should be assigned to each variable, then we can weight them and obtain a weighted distance measure. d(i, j) = w ( ) + L + i j w ( p ip ) jp A binar variable is smmetric if both of its states are equall valuable, that is, there is no preference on which outcome should be coded as. A binar variable is asmmetric if the outcome of the states are not equall important, such as positive or negative outcomes of a disease test. Similarit that is based on smmetric binar variables is called invariant similarit. Binar Variables A contingenc table for binar data Object i sum a c a+ c Object j b+ d c+ d Simple matching coefficient (invariant, if the binar variable is smmetric): d(i, j) = b + c a + b + c + d Jaccard coefficient (noninvariant if the binar variable is asmmetric): d(i, j) = b + c a + b + c b d sum a+ b p Dissimilarit between Binar Variables Eample Name Gender Fever Cough Test- Test- Test- Test- Jack M Y N P N N N Mar F Y N P N P N Jim M Y P N N N N gender is a smmetric attribute the remaining attributes are asmmetric binar let the values Y and P be set to, and the value N be set to Jaccard coefficient + d(jack, mar) = = d(jack, jim) = = d(jim, mar) = =. + +
6 Nominal Variables A generalization of the binar variable in that it can take more than states, e.g., red, ellow, blue, green Ordinal Variables On ordinal variables order is important e.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze Method : simple matching m: # of matches, p: total # of variables p d(i,j) = p m Method : use a large number of binar variables creating a new binar variable for each of the M nominal states Can be treated like continuous the ordered states define the ranking,...,m f replacing if b their rank r {,...,M } if f map the range of each variable onto [, ] b replacing i-th object in the f-th variable b z if r = if M f compute the dissimilarit using methods for continuous variables Variables of Mied Tpes A database ma contain several/all tpes of variables continuous, smmetric binar, asmmetric binar, nominal and ordinal. One ma use a weighted formula to combine their effects. What is Cluster Analsis? Clustering Tpes of Data in Cluster Analsis d(i, j) = p (f) (f) δ d ij ij f = p f = (f) δ ij δ ij = if if is missing or if = jf = and the variable f is asmmetric binar δ ij = otherwise continuous and ordinal variables dij: normalized absolute distance binar and nominal variables dij= if if = jf ; otherwise dij= A Categorization of Major Clustering Methods Partitioning Methods Hierarchical Methods
7 Major Clustering Approaches Partitioning algorithms: Construct various partitions and then evaluate them b some criterion Hierarch algorithms: Create a hierarchical decomposition of the set of data (or objects) using some criterion Densit-based: Based on connectivit and densit functions. Able to find clusters of arbitrar shape. Continues growing a cluster as long as the densit of points in the neighborhood eceeds a specified limit. Clustering What is Cluster Analsis? Tpes of Data in Cluster Analsis A Categorization of Major Clustering Methods Partitioning Methods Hierarchical Methods Grid-based: Based on a multiple-level granularit structure that forms a grid structure on which all operations are performed. Performance depends onl on the number of cells in the grid. Model-based: A model is hpothesized for each of the clusters and the idea is to find the best fit of that model to each other Partitioning Algorithms: Basic Concept The K-Means Clustering Method Partitioning method: Construct a partition of a database D of n objects into a set of k clusters Given a k, find a partition of k clusters that optimizes the chosen partitioning criterion Global optimal: ehaustivel enumerate all partitions Heuristic methods: k-means and k-medoids algorithms k-means: Each cluster is represented b the center of the cluster k-medoids or PAM (Partition around medoids): Each cluster is represented b one of the objects in the cluster Given k, the k-means algorithm is implemented in steps:. Partition objects into k nonempt subsets. Compute centroids of the clusters of the current partition. The centroid is the center (mean point) of the cluster.. Assign each object to the cluster with the nearest seed point.. Go back to Step ; stop when no more new assignment.
8 K-means clustering (k=) Comments on the K-Means Method Strengths & Weaknesses Relativel efficient: O(tkn), where n is # objects, k is # clusters, and t is # iterations. Normall, k, t << n. Often terminates at a local optimum Applicable onl when mean is defined Need to specif k, the number of clusters, in advance Sensitive to noise and outliers as a small number of such points can influence the mean value Not suitable to discover clusters with non-conve shapes Importance of Choosing Initial Centroids Importance of Choosing Initial Centroids Iteration...

9 The K-Medoids Clustering Method PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids) Find representative objects, called medoids, in clusters PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids, ) starts from an initial set of medoids and iterativel replaces one of the medoids b one of the non-medoids if it improves the total distance of the resulting clustering PAM works effectivel for small data sets, but does not scale well for large data sets CLARA (Kaufmann & Rousseeuw, ) CLARANS (Ng & Han, ): Randomized sampling PAM (Kaufman and Rousseeuw, ) Use real object to represent the cluster Select k representative objects arbitraril For each pair of non-selected object h and selected object i, calculate the total swapping cost TC ih Select pair of i and h which corresponds to the minimum TC ih If min.tc ih <, i is replaced b h Then assign each non-selected object to the most similar representative object Repeat steps - until there is no change PAM Clustering: Total swapping cost TC ih = j C jih CLARA (Clustering LARge Applications) i,t: medoids h: medoid candidate j: a point t j i h t j h i CLARA (Kaufmann and Rousseeuw in ) draws a sample of the dataset and applies PAM on the sample in order to find the medoids. If the sample is representative the medoids of the sample should approimate the medoids of the entire dataset. To improve the approimation, multiple samples are drawn and the C jih : swapping cost due to j C jih =d(j,h)-d(j,i) h j i t C jih = i h t j best clustering is returned as the output The clustering accurac is measured b the average dissimilarit of all objects in the entire dataset. Eperiments show that samples of size +k give satisfactor results C jih =d(j,t)-d(j,i) C jih =d(j,h)-d(j,t)
10 CLARA (Clustering LARge Applications) Strengths and Weaknesses: Deals with larger data sets than PAM Efficienc depends on the sample size A good clustering based on samples will not necessaril represent a good clustering of the whole data set if the sample is biased CLARANS ( Randomized CLARA) CLARANS (A Clustering Algorithm based on Randomized Search) (Ng and Han ) The clustering process can be presented as searching a graph where ever node is a potential solution, that is, a set of k medoids Two nodes are neighbors if their sets differ b onl one medoid Each node can be assigned a cost that is defined to be the total dissimilarit between ever object and the medoid of its cluster The problem corresponds to search for a minimum on the graph At each step, all neighbors of current node are searched; the neighbor which corresponds to the deepest descent in cost is chosen as the net solution CLARANS ( Randomized CLARA) For large values of n and k, eamining k(n-k) neighbors is time consuming. At each step, CLARANS draws sample of neighbors to eamine. Note that CLARA draws a sample of nodes at the beginning of search; therefore, CLARANS has the benefit of not confining the search to a restricted area. If the local optimum is found, CLARANS starts with new randoml selected node in search for a new local optimum. The number of local optimums to search for is a parameter.

11 Hierarchical Clustering Hierarchical Clustering Use distance matri as clustering criteria. These methods work b grouping data into a tree of clusters. There are two tpes of hierarchical clustering: Agglomerative: bottom-up strateg Divisive: top-down strateg Does not require the number of clusters as an input, but needs a termination condition, e. g., could be the desired number of clusters or a distance threshold for merging Step Step Step Step Step a a b b a b c d e c c d e d d e e Step Step Step Step Step agglomerative divisive Agglomerative hierarchical clustering Clustering result: dendrogram
12 Linkage rules () Single link (nearest neighbor). The distance between two clusters is determined b the distance of the two closest objects (nearest neighbors) in the different clusters. This rule will, in a sense, string objects together to form clusters, and the resulting clusters tend to represent long "chains." Complete link (furthest neighbor). The distances between clusters are determined b the greatest distance between an two objects in the different clusters (i.e., b the "furthest neighbors"). This method usuall performs quite well in cases when the objects actuall form naturall distinct "clumps." If the clusters tend to be somehow elongated or of a "chain" tpe nature, then this method is inappropriate. Linkage rules () Pair-group average. The distance between two clusters is calculated as the average distance between all pairs of objects in the two different clusters. This method is also ver efficient when the objects form natural distinct "clumps," however, it performs equall well with elongated, "chain" tpe clusters. Pair-group centroid. The distance between two clusters is determined as the distance between centroids. AGNES (Agglomerative Nesting) DIANA (Divisive Analsis) Use the Single-Link method and the dissimilarit matri. Repeatedl merge nodes that have the least dissimilarit, e.g. merge C and C is objects from C and C form the minimum Euclidean distance between an two objects from different clusters. Eventuall all nodes belong to the same cluster Introduced in Kaufmann and Rousseeuw () Inverse order of AGNES All objects are used to form one initial cluster The cluster is split according to some principle, e.g, the maimum Euclidean distance between the closest neighboring objects in different clusters Eventuall each node forms a cluster on its own
13 More on Hierarchical Clustering Major weakness of agglomerative clustering methods do not scale well: time compleit of at least O(n), where n is the number of total objects can never undo what was done previousl Integration of hierarchical with distance-based clustering BIRCH: uses CF-tree and incrementall adjusts the qualit of sub-clusters CURE: selects well-scattered points from the cluster and then shrinks them towards the center of the cluster b a specified fraction DBscan: Densit-based Alg. based on local connectivit and densit functions BIRCH algorithm BIRCH: Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies, b Zhang, Ramakrishnan, Livn (SIGMOD ) A tree is built that captures needed information to perform clustering Introduces two new concepts Clustering Feature (contains info about a cluster) Clustering Feature Tree which are used to summarize cluster representation BIRCH - Clustering Feature Vector A clustering feature is a triplet summarizing information about sub-clusters of objects. It registers crucial measurements for computing clusters in a compact form BIRCH - Clustering Feature Tree A tree that stores the clustering features for hierarchical clustering Clustering Feature: CF = (N, LS, SS) N: Number of data points Linear sum LS: N i==x i CF = (, (,),(,)) Square Sum SS: N i==x i (,) (,) (,) (,) (,) B = Ma. no. of CF in a non-leaf node L = Ma. no. of CF in a leaf node
14 Notes BIRCH algorithm A Leaf node represents a cluster. A sub-cluster in a leaf node must have a diameter no greater than a given threshold T. A point is inserted into the leaf node (cluster) to which is closer. When one item is inserted into a cluster at the leaf node T (for the corresponding sub-cluster) must be satisfied. The corresponding CF must be updated. Incrementall construct a CF tree, a hierarchical data structure for multiphase clustering Phase : scan DB to build an initial in-memor CF tree If threshold condition is violated If there is room to insert Insert point as a single cluster If not Leaf node split: take two farthest CFs and create two leaf nodes, put the remaining CFs (including the new one) into the closest node Update CF for non-leafs. Insert new non-leaf entr into parent node We ma have to split the parent as well. Spilt the root increases tree height b one. If not Insert point into the closest cluster If there is no space on the node the node is split. Phase : use an arbitrar clustering algorithm to cluster the leaf nodes of the CF-tree Some Comments on Birch CURE (Clustering Using REpresentatives ) It can be shown that CF vectors can be stored and calculated incrementall and accuratel as clusters are merged Eperiments have shown that scales linearl with the number of objects. Finds a good clustering with a single scan and improves the qualit with a few additional scans Proposed b Guha, Rastogi & Shim, Uses multiple representative points to evaluate distance between clusters. Handles onl numeric data, and sensitive to the order of the data record. Better suited to find spherical clusters. Representative points are well-scattered objects for the cluster and are shrunk towards the centre of the cluster. (adjusts well to arbitrar shaped clusters; and avoids single-link effect) At each step, the two clusters with the closest pair of representative points are merged.
15 Cure: The Algorithm Partial Clustering Draw random sample s (to ensure data fits memor) Partition sample to p partitions with size s/p (to speed up algorithm) Partiall cluster partitions into s/pq clusters (using hierarchical alg.) Eliminate outliers If a cluster grows too slowl or if is ver small at the end, eliminate it. Cluster partial clusters. Label data (cluster the entire database using c representative points for each cluster) Each cluster is represented b c representative points The r. p. are chosen to be far from each other The r.p. are shrunk toward the mean (the centroid) of the cluster (for α = all r.p. are shrunk to the centroid) The two clusters with the closest pair of r.p. are merged to form a new cluster and new r.p. are chosen (Hierarchical clustering) CURE :Data Partitioning and Clustering s = p = s/p = s/pq = Cure: Shrinking Representative Points Further cluster the partial clustering Partitioning the sample data Partial clustering Shrink the multiple representative points towards the gravit center b a fraction of α. (helps dampen the effects of outliers) Multiple representatives capture the shape of the cluster
16 CURE DBSCAN algorithm Having several representative points per cluster allows CURE to adjust well to the geometr of nonspherical shapes. Shrinking the scattered points toward the mean b a factor of α gets rid of surface abnormalities and mitigates the effect of outliers. Results with large datasets indicate that CURE scales well. Time compleit is O (n lg n) Densit-based Alg: based on local connectivit and densit functions Major features: Discover clusters of arbitrar shape Handle noise One scan DBSCAN: Densit-Based Clustering DBSCAN: Densit Concepts () Densit: the minimum number of points within a certain distance of each other. Two parameters: Eps : Maimum radius of the neighborhood Clustering based on densit (local cluster criterion), such as densit-connected points MinPts : Minimum number of points in an Eps-neighborhood of that point Each cluster has a considerable higher densit of points than outside of the cluster Core Point: object with at least MinPts objects within a radius Eps-neighborhood
17 DBSCAN: Densit Concepts () DBSCAN: Densit Concepts () Directl Densit-Reachable: A point p is directl densitreachable from a point q with respect to Eps, MinPts if ) p belongs to NEps(q) ) core point condition: NEps (q) >= MinPts Densit-reachable: A point p is densit-reachable from a point q wrt. Eps, MinPts if there is a chain of points p,, pn, p = q, pn = p such that pi+ is directl densit-reachable from pi q p p (a DDR point needs to be close to a core point but it does not need to be a core point itself, if not it is a border point) q p MinPts = Eps = cm Densit-connected: A point p is densit-connected to a point q wrt. Eps, MinPts if there is a point o such that both, p and q are densit-reachable from o wrt. Eps and MinPts. p o q DBSCAN: Cluster definition DBSCAN: The Algorithm Cluster C For all p,q if p is in C, and q is densit reachable from p, then q is also in C For all p,q in C: p is densit connected to q A cluster is defined as a maimal set of densit-connected points A cluster has a core set of points ver close to a large number of other points (core points) and then some other points (border points) that are sufficientl close to at least one core point. Arbitrar select a point p If p is not a core point, no points are densit-reachable from p and DBSCAN visits the net point of the database. If p is a core point, a cluster is formed. Retrieve all points densit-reachable from p wrt Eps and MinPts. Continue the process until all of the points have been processed. (it is possible that a border point could belong to two clusters. Such point will be assigned to whichever cluster is generated first)
18 Comments on DBSCAN DBScan For each core point which is not in a cluster Eplore its neighbourhood in search for ever densit reachable point For each neighbourhood point eplored If it is a core point -> further eplore it It it is not a core point -> assign to the cluster and do not eplore it Eperiments have shown DBScan to be faster and more precise than CLARANS Epected time compleit O(n lg n) The fact that a cluster is composed b the maimal set of points that are densit-connect it is a propert (and therefore a consequence) of the method References Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber (Morgan Kaufmann - ) Data Mining: Introductor and Advanced Topics, Margaret Dunham (Prentice Hall, ) Clustering Web Search Results, Iwona Białnicka-Birula, Thank ou!!!
