Using variable length data inputs with EM algorithm clustering
We have a set of sequences with taxi positions. We want to cluster the data by considering the sequential patterns in the data lines.
For example:
T1, T2, T3, T4 be the travels and a,b,c,d,e be set of places.
The data we have is like,
T1 b c b a…
