Weighted consensus clustering and its application to Big data

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper proposes a purity-based weighted consensus clustering.

• The proposed approach demonstrates the efficient integration of clustering methods.

• The best result shows the proposed approach with the squared Euclidean metric.

• The proposed approach compensates for the shortcomings of each considered method.

• Weighted consensus will allow experts to use it when making group decisions.
