The project aims to develop and
investigate methods and algorithms for solving clustering problems
characterized by a combination of heterogeneity, incompleteness and noise
effects in data. In this case the classified objects are described by
heterogeneous (quantitative, ordinal or qualitative) variables; they may be
characterized by partially differing feature systems. There are exist missed
values for some characteristics; there are "noisy" objects; present
non-informative variables. Such problems may arise from the analysis of
biological, sociological and medical information, web data, satellite images
etc.
In this project, we suggest to use a
combination of logical, probabilistic and the ensemble approaches to construct
models for classification and forecasting. The novelty of the project consists
in extending of these approaches to a problem of cluster analysis, and also in
use of original methods for constructing ensembles of logical-and-probabilistic
models and algorithms of nonparametric cluster analysis.
