An integration algorithm for clustering is presented, in which a maximization & minimum algorithm to determine the initial centers and BWP (Between-Within Proportion) index for input of optimal k. In theory, the bigger the BWP index, the better the clustering effectiveness. Then a numerical example of air transport market segment is presented to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the method presented in the document.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
