| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary K-means time series clustering is widely used in various domains, but its comprehensive evaluation with different normalization approaches has been lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by evaluating the performance of k-means time series clustering on real-world open-source datasets using two distinct normalization techniques: z-normalization and NP-Free. The study focuses on assessing the impact of these normalization techniques on k-means clustering quality, employing the silhouette score as a well-established metric. This paper contributes valuable insights to the development of time series clustering. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary K-means time series clustering helps group similar data points together. But did you know that different ways to prepare the data before grouping can greatly affect how good the groups are? In this study, researchers looked at two common methods for preparing data: z-normalization and NP-Free. They compared these methods with k-means time series clustering on real-world datasets to see which one works best. The results will help us better understand how to group time series data. |
