A COMPARISON OF CLUSTERING BY IMPUTATION AND SPECIAL CLUSTERING ALGORITHMS ON THE REAL INCOMPLETE DATA

Abstrak

The existence of missing values will really inhibit process of clustering. To overcome it, some of scientists have found several solutions. Both of them are imputation and special clustering algorithms. This paper compared the results of clustering by using them in incomplete data. K-means algorithms was utilized in the imputation data. The algorithms used were distribution free multiple imputation (DFMI), Gabriel eigen (GE), expectation maximization-singular value decomposition (EM-SVD), biplot imputation (BI), four algorithms of modified fuzzy c-means (FCM), k-means soft constraints (KSC), distance estimation strategy fuzzy c-means (DESFCM), k-means soft constraints imputed-observed (KSC-IO). The data used were the 2018 environmental performance index (EPI) and the simulation data. The optimal clustering on the 2018 EPI data would be chosen based on Silhouette index, where previously, it had been tested its capability in simulation dataset. The results showed that Silhouette index have the good capability to validate the clustering results in the incomplete dataset and the optimal clustering in the 2018 EPI dataset was obtained by k-means using BI where the silhouette index and time complexity were 0.613 and 0.063 respectively. Based on the results, k-means by using BI is suggested processing clustering analysis in the 2018 EPI dataset.
