Table 1 An initial comparison of MLF and NGG
| Â | Advantage | Disadvantage | Favored Situation |
|---|---|---|---|
MLF | • results might be more significant with higher LLRs • it is faster than NGG when there are few clusters | • it is hard to control when most clusters have relative similar LLRs • only the cluster with the highest LLR is kept into the next search | • data containing few extreme clusters • small number of units |
NGG | • the maximum number of candidate cluster is controllable • it is simple to be implemented | • the search procedure will continue until it reaches the criteria | • large number of units |
