• Expands ODM support of unsupervised learning (learning techniques that do not have a target value). Clustering can be used to segment data into naturally occurring clusters or for assigning new data to clusters. ODM Clustering techniques use k-means and an Oracle proprietary algorithm, O-Cluster, that allows both numerical and categorical data types to be clustered. The clustering model generates probablistic cluster membership assignment and cluster rules.

Data sets which bunch in several places do not possess Centrality. What they do possess has not been very much studied, and there are no infallible methods for locating the describing more than one cluster in a data set (the problem is much worse when some of the clusters overlap). ...
