Transductive-Inductive Cluster Approximation Via Multivariate Chebyshev   Inequality
  Approximating adequate number of clusters in multidimensional data is an open area of research, given a level of compromise made on the quality of acceptable results. The manuscript addresses the issue by formulating a transductive inductive learning algorithm which uses multivariate Chebyshev inequality. Considering clustering problem in imaging, theoretical proofs for a particular level of compromise are derived to show the convergence of the reconstruction error to a finite value with increasing (a) number of unseen examples and (b) the number of clusters, respectively. Upper bounds for these error rates are also proved. Non-parametric estimates of these error from a random sample of sequences empirically point to a stable number of clusters. Lastly, the generalization of algorithm can be applied to multidimensional data sets from different fields.
