ABSTRACT
Time series clustering methods, such as Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) noise clustering, can be efficiently used to obtain typical price-influenced load profiles (TPILPs) through the data-driven analysis and modelling of the consumption behaviour of household electricity customers in response to price signals (Demand Response, DR). However, the analysis of load time series with cluster methods presupposes that the user has a lot of experience in selecting good cluster hyper-parameter values (e.g. number of clusters or fuzzifier). The present contribution proposes a practical method to the automatic selection of optimal hyper-parameter values for DR clustering.

Improved k- means clustering algorithm for two dimensional data
CCSEIT '12: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Computational Science, Engineering and Information TechnologyClustering is a procedure of organizing the objects in groups whose member exhibits some kind of similarity. So a cluster is a collection of objects which are alike and are different from the objects belonging to other clusters. K-Means is one of ...
Agglomerative Fuzzy K-Means Clustering Algorithm with Selection of Number of Clusters
In this paper, we present an agglomerative fuzzy $k$-means clustering algorithm for numerical data, an extension to the standard fuzzy $k$-means algorithm by introducing a penalty term to the objective function to make the clustering process not ...
