Abstract

In this paper, in order to obtain the optimized analysis of clustering for the probability distributions, the increment of the description length is proposed to instead the relative entropy as the similarity measure between two probability distributions. Its corresponding features are also discussed in detail in this paper. As the improvement, the increment of description satisfies the symmetrical feature. On the basis of this similarity measure, K-means algorithm is employed to analysis the police training data and to influence the corresponding course establishment. The experiment results indicate that the proposed similarity measure can lead to better clustering results than some other previous similarity measure
