Modeling uncertain data using Monte Carlo integration method for clustering

作者:

Highlights:

• Uncertain data is expressed as pds using a modified Monte-Carlo Integration method.

• Three distance metrics have been presented to find the similarity between two pds.

• These metrics have been derived from the notion of KL & Jeffreys divergences.

• Finally, k-medoid & DBSCAN clustering algorithm has been modified for clustering.
