Generalized Umatrix
Projections from a high-dimensional data space onto a two-dimensional plane are used to detect structures, such as clusters, in multivariate data. The generalized Umatrix is able to visualize errors of these two-dimensional scatter plots by using a 3D topographic map.

Databionic Swarm
Here a swarm system, called databionic swarm (DBS), is introduced which is able to adapt itself to structures of high-dimensional data such as natural clusters characterized by distance and/or density based structures in the data space. The first module is the parameter-free projection method Pswarm, which exploits the concepts of self-organization and emergence, game theory, swarm intelligence and symmetry considerations. The second module is a parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique, which generates projected points on a topographic map with hypsometric colors based on the generalized U-matrix. The third module is the clustering method itself with non-critical parameters. The clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. Thrun, M. C.: Projection Based Clustering through Self-Organization and Swarm Intelligence, doctoral dissertation 2017, Springer, Heidelberg, ISBN: 978-3-658-20539-3, DOI:10.1007/978-3-658-20540-9, 2018.
Projection Based Clustering
Various visualizations of high-dimensional data such as heat map and silhouette plot for grouped data, visualizations of the distribution of distances, the scatter-density plot for two variables, the Shepard density plot and many more are presented here. Additionally, ‘DataVisualizations’ makes it possible to inspect the distribution of each feature of a dataset visually through the combination of four methods.Thrun, M.C., Ultsch, A.: Projection based Clustering, Conf. Int. Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS), DOI:10.13140/RG.2.2.13124.53124, Tokyo, 2017.

AdaptGauss
For a given data vector, the package provides a density estimate according to PDE [Ultsch 2005]. In an interactive tool, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) can be generated manually or automatically (expectation-maximization algorithm) via the visualization of this density estimate. The GMM can be verified via a QQplot or a chi-square distribution test. Boundaries between the components of the GMM are calculated using Bayes’ theorem.

ABC Analyse
For a given data set, the package provides a new method in the R programming language for calculating precise boundaries between subgroups that can be easily interpreted. Closely related to the Lorenz curve, the ABC curve visualizes the data by graphing the cumulative distribution function. Based on an ABC analysis, the algorithm uses the ABC curve to calculate the optimal limits by exploiting the mathematical properties of the distribution of the analyzed elements. The data consist of positive values and are divided into three disjoint subsets A, B and C, where subset A, contains the very profitable values, i.e., largest data values (“the most important”) subset B, the values at which the profit equals the effort to obtain, and subset C, which contains of non-profitable values, i.e., the smallest data sets (“the trivial”).

Vademecum
| As part of a student project work, the DataMining suite “Vademecum” was developed. It is a software that supports, guides and prevents the user from making mistakes during the knowledge discovery process. For all further information please visit the SourceForge Project. |

DWT/DFT time series feature extraction
| The best selection of coefficients from the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) or the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of time series in terms of energy conservation is in descending order of magnitude. For a set of time series such as those available for clustering or classification, this leads to poorly comparable representations, since different coefficients can be selected per time series. We have therefore proposed a global selection strategy that combines a comparable representation with good energy conservation. We provide an implementation for Matlab under the GPL: Download. | |
