Title: Applications of partition based clustering algorithms: A survey
Abstract: Data mining is one of the interesting research areas in database technology. In data mining, a cluster is a set of data objects that are similar to one another with in a cluster and are different to the entities in the former clusters. Clustering is the efficient method in data mining in order to process huge data sets. The core methodology of clustering is used in many domains like academic result analysis of institutions. Also, the methods are very well suited in machine learning, clustering in medical dataset, pattern recognition, image mining, information retrieval and bioinformatics. The clustering algorithms are categorized based upon different research phenomenon. Varieties of algorithms have recently occurred and were effectively applied to real-life data mining problems. This survey mainly focuses on partition based clustering algorithms namely k-Means, k-Medoids and Fuzzy c-Means In particular, they applied mostly in medical data sets. The importance of the survey is to explore the various applications in different domains.
