Abstract
Disclosed aspects relate to data insight discovery using a clustering technique. A set of data may be compressed based on a set of proximity values with respect to a set of predictors to assemble a set of sub-clusters. A set of subgroups may be established by merging a plurality of individual sub-clusters of the set of sub-clusters using a tightness factor. A subset of the subgroups may be selected based on a selection criterion. A set of insight data which indicates a profile of the subset of the set of subgroups with respect to the set of data may be compiled for the subset of the set of subgroups.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for data insight discovery using a clustering technique, the method comprising:
- compressing, to assemble a set of sub-clusters, a set of data based on a set of proximity values with respect to a set of predictors;
- establishing, by merging a plurality of individual sub-clusters of the set of sub-clusters, a set of subgroups using a tightness factor;
- selecting, based on a selection criterion, a subset of the set of subgroups;
- and
- compiling, for the subset of the set of subgroups, a set of insight data which indicates a profile of the subset of the set of subgroups with respect to the set of data.
A system for data insight discovery using a clustering technique, the system comprising:
- a memory having a set of computer readable computer instructions, and
- a processor for executing the set of computer readable instructions, the set of computer readable instructions including:
- compressing, to assemble a set of sub-clusters, a set of data based on a set of proximity values with respect to a set of predictors;
- establishing, by merging a plurality of individual sub-clusters of the set of sub-clusters, a set of subgroups using a tightness factor;
- selecting, based on a selection criterion, a subset of the set of subgroups;
- and
- compiling, for the subset of the set of subgroups, a set of insight data which indicates a profile of the subset of the set of subgroups with respect to the set of data.
A computer program product for data insight discovery using a clustering technique, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- compressing, to assemble a set of sub-clusters, a set of data based on a set of proximity values with respect to a set of predictors;
- establishing, by merging a plurality of individual sub-clusters of the set of sub-clusters, a set of subgroups using a tightness factor;
- selecting, based on a selection criterion, a subset of the set of subgroups;
- and
- compiling, for the subset of the set of subgroups, a set of insight data which indicates a profile of the subset of the set of subgroups with respect to the set of data.
