Synthesized clustering: A method for amalgamating alternative clustering bases with differential weighting of variables

In the application of clustering methods to real world data sets, two problems frequently arise: (a) how can the various contributory variables in a specific battery be weighted so as to enhance some cluster structure that may be present, and (b) how can various alternative batteries be combined to produce a single clustering that “best” incorporates each contributory set. A new method is proposed (SYNCLUS, SYNthesizedCLUStering) for dealing with these two problems.
