Distributed clustering is an effect method for solving the problem of clustering data located at different sites. Considering the circumstance that data is horizontally distributed, algorithm LDBDC (local density based distributed clustering) is presented based on the existeding algorithm DBDC (density based distributed clustering), which can easily fit datasets of high dimension and abnormal distribution by adopting ideas such as local density-based clustering and density attractor. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that algorithm LDBDC outperforms DBDC and SDBDC (scalable density-based distributed clustering) in both clustering quality and efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
