Using competency questions to select optimal clustering structures for residential energy consumption patterns
@article{Toussaint2020UsingCQ, title={Using competency questions to select optimal clustering structures for residential energy consumption patterns}, author={Wiebke Toussaint and Deshendran Moodley}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2020}, volume={abs/2006.00934} }
During cluster analysis domain experts and visual analysis are frequently relied on to identify the optimal clustering structure. This process tends to be adhoc, subjective and difficult to reproduce. This work shows how competency questions can be used to formalise expert knowledge and application requirements for context specific evaluation of a clustering application in the residential energy consumption sector.
