description This paper presents Centre-based hard clustering approaches for clustering Y-STR data. Two classical partitioning techniques: Centroid-based partitioning technique and Representative object-based partitioning technique are evaluated. The k-Means and the k-Modes algorithms are the fundamental algorithms for the centroid-based partitioning technique, whereas the k-Medoids is a representative object-based partitioning technique. The three algorithms above are experimented and evaluated in partitioning Y-STR haplogroups and Y-STR Surname data. The overall results show that the centroid-based partitioning technique is better than the representative object-based partitioning technique in clustering Y-STR data.
