摘要
The aim of clustering is to partition a given set of similar data objects into homogeneous clusters. As the complexity of numerical and categorical attributes of datasets, K-prototypes algorithm is proposed to solve the mixed attributes in data mining. But it always uses Hemingway distance to measure the differences between the two categorical attributes, which cannot entirely embody the sample difference when dealing with complex data sets. Based on this, we calculate the similarity for numerical attributes based on information entropy mechanism, and introduce the similarity between the sample objects and other samples in the same cluster for categorical attributes. Simulation results show that, compared with traditional algorithm, our algorithm has certain promotional effects on stability and accuracy. ©, 2015, Journal of Computational Information Systems.
