Agglomerative Likelihood Clustering
Lionel Yelibi, Tim Gebbie
We consider the problem of fast time-series data clustering. Building on previous work modeling the correlation-based Hamiltonian of spin variables we present an updated fast non-expensive Agglomerative Likelihood Clustering algorithm (ALC). The method replaces the optimized genetic algorithm based approach (f-SPC) with an agglomerative recursive merging framework inspired by previous work in Econophysics and Community Detection. The method is tested on noisy synthetic correlated time-series data-sets with built-in cluster structure to demonstrate that the algorithm produces meaningful non-trivial results. We apply it to time-series data-sets as large as 20,000 assets and we argue that ALC can reduce compute time costs and resource usage cost for large scale clustering for time-series applications while being serialized, and hence has no obvious parallelization requirement. The algorithm can be an effective choice for state-detection for online learning in a fast non-linear data environment because the algorithm requires no prior information about the number of clusters.
