Abstract
Klasteranalüüsis on laialt levinud k-keskmiste meetod, mis võimaldab andmeid grupeerida nende tunnuste järgi, seejuures minimeerides ruutvigade summat klastrites olevate andmeobjektide ja vastava klastri keskpunktide vahel. Kuna k-keskmiste meetodi kui optimeerimisülesandele täpse lahenduse leidmine on NP-raske, siis on probleemi lahendamiseks võetud kasutusele mitmeid lähendeid otsivaid algoritme. Bakalaureusetöö eesmärgina valmis rakendus, mis lubab kasutada viit k-keskmiste klasterdusalgoritmi ja nelja algsete keskpunktide valimise meetodit. Kasutades nii reaalelulisi kui ka sünteetilisi andmestikke antakse ülevaade rakenduses implementeeritud algoritmide jõudlusest, mälukasutusest ja edukusest leida hea lähend k-keskmiste optimeerimisülesandele.
In cluster analysis k-means method is a method popularly used for grouping data by their features. The method aims to minimize within-cluster sum of squared errors between data objects in clusters and their corresponding center means. Because solving k-means optimization task exactly is NP-hard there have been introduced several heuristic algorithms for finding approximations. As the goal of the thesis a software was made, which enables use of nine different algorithms, which are 5 k-means clustering algorithms and 4 methods for choosing initial centers. Using real life and synthetic datasets an overview of the application’s capabilities is given by measuring algorithms performance, memory use and approximation capabilities.
