Abstract

The focus of this paper is to provide a reliable approach for associating families of curves from within a large number of curves. The method developed assumes that it is not known how many families are present, or how many curves are held within a family. The algorithm described has been developed for use on acoustical data, where there is a strong physical relationship between related curves. In the solution to the problem each of the curves have several key features which are measured and parametrised. This results in the characteristics of each curve being described by a small number of directly comparable parameters. Using these parameters it is then possible to find the related curves by applying cluster analysis
