Study Notes
Clustering Characteristics
- Hard clustering is characterized by each instance being placed in exactly one of K nonoverlapping clusters.
- In hierarchical clustering, a hierarchical decomposition of the set of objects is created.
- Partitional clustering is characterized by each instance being placed in exactly one of K nonoverlapping clusters.
- The main difference between hard and fuzzy clustering is that hard clustering assigns each instance to one cluster, while fuzzy clustering allows instances to belong to multiple clusters with varying degrees of membership.
- In partitional clustering, each instance is placed in exactly one of K nonoverlapping clusters, distinguishing it from hierarchical clustering, which creates a hierarchical decomposition of the set of objects.
- The defining characteristic of hierarchical clustering is creating a hierarchical decomposition of the set of objects.
- Fuzzy clustering involves membership functions and allows each point to belong to all clusters up to some degree.
- Hierarchical clustering is distinguished from partitional clustering by creating a hierarchical decomposition of the set of objects, whereas partitional clustering divides instances into nonoverlapping clusters.
- The defining feature of hard clustering is that each instance belongs to exactly one cluster.
- Fuzzy clustering is characterized by the use of membership functions, allowing instances to belong to multiple clusters simultaneously.
