Abstract
In a multicriteria clustering problem, optimization over more than one criterion is required. The problem can be treated in different ways: by reduction to a clustering problem with the single criterion obtained as a combination of the given criteria; by constrained clustering algorithms where a selected critetion is considered as the clustering criterion and all others determine the constraints; or by direct algorithms. In this paper two types of direct algorithms for solving multicriteria clustering problem are proposed: the modified relocation algorithm, and the modified agglomerative algorithm. Different elaborations of these two types of algorithms are discussed and compared. Finally, two applications of the proposed algorithms are presented.
