you can check out k-means clustering algorithm [here][1]. > In data mining, k-means clustering is a method of cluster analysis > which aims to partition n observations into k clusters in which each > observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean. This results > into a partitioning of the data space into Voronoi cells. kmeans-postgresql implementation [here][2].. and i newly meet this topic Spatial clustering with PostGIS , you can check out [here][3] from @Mike Toews with ST_MinimumBoundingCircle function.. ![mikey][4] ----------- ![kmeans][5] i hope it helps you...
