20100086224 | DYNAMIC CLUSTERING FOR ADAPTIVE PREDICTION FILTERS - An initial value is assigned to a center point for each cluster in a plurality of clusters. Each point in a point space is assigned to a closest cluster based on the distance between the each point and the center of nearest cluster.

Each point in the point space is reassigned to the closest cluster based on the first-assignment value of each center. A second-assignment value is determined for the center of each cluster according to the reassigning. A second-assignment dynamic validity index is evaluated using the second-assignment values. The current cluster configuration is selected if the difference between the dynamic validity indices is less than a threshold. | 04-08-2010 |
