Spatial High Utility Co-location Pattern Mining Based on Fuzzy Feature Clusters
Sets of spatial features whose instances frequently appear together in nearby areas are regarded as spatial co-location patterns.Spatial high utility co-location patterns is an extended research of spatial co-location pattern mining,which better reflects the high-quality aggregation phenomenon among spatial features.Most of the existing methods use the adaptive utility participation index(UPI)as a metric parameter for mining high utility co-locations.However,UPI does not take into account the influence of fuzziness and overlap of proximity relationships on the utility of co-location patterns.Furthermore,UPI does not satisfy the downward closure property,the mining efficiency is still not satisfactory.Combining fuzzy set theory,we establish fuzzy neighbor relationships and propose a new method for calculating the utility of co-location patterns.At the same time,we generate the fuzzy high utility feature clusters by the Fuzzy Chameleon Clustering algorithm,and extract spatial high utility co-location patterns from these high utility clusters.Finally,a large number of experiments are conducted on three synthetic datasets and two real datasets,which prove the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
