Abstract

The raw data from an Automated Blood Cell Counter is transformed in to a Preprocessed and Flattened data using the preprocessing phases of the Knowledge Discovery in Databases and the transformed data is used to create clusters of the database in this paper. The K-Means algorithm is applied on the database to form various clusters. Twelve thousand records are taken from a clinical laboratory for processing. Associations among the various attributes of the database are generated.
