Data on Cut-Edge for Spatial Clustering Based on Proximity Graphs

Abstract

Cluster analysis plays a significant role regarding automating such a knowledge discovery process in spatial data mining. A good clustering algorithm supports two essential conditions, namely high intra-cluster similarity and low inter-cluster similarity. Maximized intra-cluster/within-cluster similarity produces low distances between data points inside the same cluster. However, minimized inter-cluster/between-cluster similarity increases the distance between data points in different clusters by furthering them apart from each other. We previously presented a spatial clustering algorithm, abbreviated CutESC (Cut-Edge for Spatial Clustering) with a graph-based approach. The data presented in this article is related to and supportive to the research paper entitled "CutESC: Cutting edge spatial clustering technique based on proximity graphs" (Aksac et al., 2019) [1], where interpretation research data presented here is available. In this article, we share the parametric version of our algorithm named CutESC-P, the best parameter settings for the experiments, the additional analyses and some additional information related to the proposed algorithm (CutESC) in [1].
