Clustering of mixed numerical and categorical data has become a challenge now a days. A number of algorithms dealing with mixed data have been proposed. Speed and simplicity are the two major features that have made the K-Prototype algorithm a famous partition based clustering algorithm. This algorithm has a constraint of providing the value of K initially and sometimes predicting the optimum number of clusters in advance becomes practically impossible. In this paper, a new algorithm based on the K-Prototype algorithm for clustering mixed data with advanced features for automatic generation of appropriate number of clusters is presented.
