Abstract
The quality of cotton fibre is often characterized by its various physical properties, like bundle strength, elongation at break, fineness, mean length, maturity ratio, short fibre content, neps etc. As cotton is a natural fibre, all of its properties are always subjected to variation, thereby, influencing the characteristics of the final yarn. In this paper, these cotton fibre properties are analyzed in details using various tools of data mining. Decision tree is at first developed so as to identify the most predominant property affecting the spinnability of cotton fibres. It is also adopted to study the effects of different cotton fibre properties on yarn tenacity and unevenness. The developed dendograms help in identifying pairs or groups of cotton fibres having almost similar properties. On the other hand, cluster analysis acts as a visual decision aid in segregating the considered cotton fibres into different groups having maximum intraclass similarity and minimum interclass similarity to determine the constituent fibres in the final blend. These data mining techniques can also be implemented to study the physical characteristics of other natural fibres.
