Clustering algorithms such as k-means and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (HCA) may provide a unique opportunity to analyze time-series kinematic data. Here we present an approach for determining number of clusters and which clustering algorithm to use on time-series lumbar and pelvis kinematic data. Cluster evaluation measures such as silhouette coefficient, elbow method, Dunn Index, and gap statistic were used to evaluate the quality of decision making. The result show that multiple clustering evaluation methods should be used to determine the ideal number of clusters and algorithm suitable for clustering time-series data for each dataset being analyzed.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
