Abstract
Methods based on kernel density estimation have been successfully applied for various data mining tasks. Their natural interpretation together with suitable properties make them an attractive tool among others in clustering problems. In this paper, the Complete Gradient Clustering Algorithm has been used to investigate a real data set of grains. The wheat varieties, Kama, Rosa and Canadian, characterized by measurements of main grain geometric features obtained by X-ray technique, have been analyzed. The proposed algorithm is expected to be an effective tool for recognizing wheat varieties. A comparison between the clustering results obtained from this method and the classical k-means clustering algorithm shows positive practical features of the Complete Gradient Clustering Algorithm.
