Abstract:
The chapter deals with a recursive clustering algorithm that 
enables a real time partitioning of data streams.  Proposed algorithm 
incorporates the advantages of the Gustafson-Kessel clustering algorithm of 
identifying clusters with different shape and orientation while expanding 
its area of application to the challenging problem of real time data 
clustering. The algorithm is applicable to a wide range of practical 
evolving system type applications as diagnostics and prognostics, system 
identification, real time classification, and process quality monitoring and control.
