A novel data clustering algorithm based on gravity center methodology

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel clustering algorithm proposed based on gravity center.

• Uses connectivity and cohesion principles to find the center for every cluster.

• Require no parameters but two coefficients to provide the flexibility.

• 22 experiments were conducted in which 14 synthetic and 8 real healthcare datasets.

• Better clustering quality than other hard partitional clustering algorithms.
