Abstract

Cluster analysis has been widely used in many applications, such as pattern analysis or recognition, data analysis, image processing, market research on on-line or off-line and so on. Clustering can identify dense and sparse regions among data attributes or object attributes. But it requires many hours to get clusters that we want, because clustering is more primitive, explorative and we make many data an object of cluster analysis. In this paper we propose a new method of clustering using sample based on grid. It is more fast than any traditional clustering method and maintains its accuracy.
