Cluster Analysis – Data Mining Technique for Discovering Natural Groupings in the Data

Abstract

Amount of data stored in databases has been growing rapidly. With the technology of pattern recognition and statistical and mathematical techniques sieved across the stored information, data mining helps researchers recognize important facts, relationships, trends, patterns, derogations and anomalies that might otherwise go undetected. One of the major data mining techniques is clustering In this paper some of clustering methods, helpful in many applications, are compared. We assess the suitability of the software that we used for clustering.
