Thesis (Ph.D.)

Includes bibliographical references

As massive data sets become increasingly common, much attention has been paid to issues relating to large sample size. However, massive data sets often involve a large number of variables that are often heterogeneous in nature. In this dissertation I seek to develop novel techniques for clustering mixed-type data consisting of continuous and nominal variables. I first review the literature on clustering mixed-type data and identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing methods. I next propose a clustering technique (KAMILA) that overcomes the central weaknesses in current state-of-the-art methods. This novel method is suitable for very large data sets, and is compatible with a map-reduce computing framework; implementations in both R and Hadoop are discussed. Finally, I discuss the related issues of variable weighting and variable selection in clustering mixed-type data.
