Abstract

In this paper we derive a clustering method based
on the Hidden Conditional Random Field (HCRF) model in order
to maximizes the performance of a wireless sensor. Our novel
approach to clustering in this paper is in the application of an
index invariant graph that we defined in a previous work and that
precisely links a hyper-tree structure to the data set assumptions.
We show that a set of conditional index invariant hyper graph
forms a tree and then, we show that any tree factorization
optimizes the conditional probability of an HCRF model. We
evaluate our method based on a custom data set that we obtain
by running simulations of a time dynamic sensor network. The
performance of the proposed method outperforms the existing
clustering methods, such as the Girvan-Newmans algorithm, the
Kargers algorithm and the Spectral Clustering method, in terms
of packet acceptance probability and delay.
