Ability Grouping of Elderly Individuals Based on an Improved K‐Prototypes Algorithm

Abstract: Elderly individuals with similar abilities are likely to have similar care needs. Abilities are the basis for analysing the need patterns of elderly individuals. Abilities of elderly individuals are both numerical and categorical; therefore, an improved K-prototypes cluster algorithm for mixed attributes was proposed to group elderly individuals based on abilities. In this algorithm, the dissimilarity measure of categorical attributes is designed to consider not only the difference between the object to be all… Show more

“…This study proposes the use of the K-prototype algorithm for clustering crashes on mountainous freeways. The K-prototype algorithm, first published by [24] , is a widely used ensemble clustering algorithm in various fields such as education [25] , sociology [26] , biology science [27] , and public safety [28] .…”
