Given a binary product-machines n-by-m matrix , rank order clustering [1] is an algorithm characterized by the following steps: . For each row i compute the number =; Order rows according to descending numbers previously computed
Automatic clustering algorithms are algorithms that can perform clustering without prior knowledge of data sets. In contrast with other cluster analysis techniques, automatic clustering algorithms can determine the optimal number of clusters even in the presence of noise and outlier points. [1] [needs context]
These arise when individuals rank objects in order of preference. The data are then ordered lists of objects, arising in voting, education, marketing and other areas. Model-based clustering methods for rank data include mixtures of Plackett-Luce models and mixtures of Benter models, [29] [30] and mixtures of Mallows models. [31]
The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest.

Learning to rank [1] or machine-learned ranking (MLR) is the application of machine learning, typically supervised, semi-supervised or reinforcement learning, in the construction of ranking models for information retrieval systems. [2] Training data may, for example, consist of lists of items with some partial order specified between items in ...
The standard algorithm for hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) has a time complexity of () and requires () memory, which makes it too slow for even medium data sets. . However, for some special cases, optimal efficient agglomerative methods (of complexity ()) are known: SLINK [2] for single-linkage and CLINK [3] for complete-linkage clusteri
Complete linkage clustering avoids a drawback of the alternative single linkage clustering method - the so-called chaining phenomenon, where clusters formed via single linkage clustering may be forced together due to single elements being close to each other, even though many of the elements in each cluster may be very distant to each other ...
Ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) is an algorithm for finding density-based [1] clusters in spatial data. It was presented by Mihael Ankerst, Markus M. Breunig, Hans-Peter Kriegel and Jörg Sander. [ 2 ]
