Nearest Neighbor clustering

  1. Set i = 1 and k = 1. Assign pattern math156 to cluster math158 .
  2. Set i = i + 1. Find nearest neighbour of math160 among the patterns already assigned to clusters. Let math162 denote the distance from math160 to its nearest neighbour. Suppose the nearest neighbour is in cluster m.
  3. If math162 greater than or equal to t then assign math160 to math170 where t is the threshold specified by the user. Otherwise set k = k+1 and assign math160 to a new cluster math174 .
  4. If every pattern has been considered then stop else go to step 2.
