A novel bidirectional clustering algorithm based on local density

Abstract With the widely application of cluster analysis, the number of clusters is gradually increasing, as is the difficulty in selecting the judgment indicators of cluster numbers. Also, small clusters are crucial to discovering the extreme characteristics of data samples, but current clustering...

description Abstract With the widely application of cluster analysis, the number of clusters is gradually increasing, as is the difficulty in selecting the judgment indicators of cluster numbers.
