What is Cluster Analysis in Digital Economy?
Cluster Analysis in Digital Economy applies clustering algorithms to digital economy datasets to identify firm typologies, market segments, and innovation hubs linked to economic development metrics.
Researchers use k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN on data from digital transformation in oilfields, transport, and payments. Studies from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Europe analyze 2020-2023 datasets with over 40 papers cited. Clustering reveals patterns in innovation pauses and fraud detection amid digitalization.
Why It Matters
Clustering identifies digital transformation clusters in oilfield services, enabling targeted innovation policies (Razmanova and Andruxova, 2020, 46 citations). In transport, it quantifies efficiency paradigms for pricing and supply chains (Poliak et al., 2021, 36 citations; Gabdullina et al., 2020, 11 citations). Fraud clustering in payments reduces losses from digital transactions (Kolodiziev et al., 2020, 31 citations), while healthcare capacity clusters guide pandemic responses (Simakhova et al., 2022, 11 citations). These applications inform economic development in resource-dependent regions like Russia and Kazakhstan.
Key Research Challenges
Handling High-Dimensional Data
Digital economy datasets from payments and oilfields feature high dimensions, causing curse of dimensionality in clustering. Standard algorithms like k-means degrade performance without dimensionality reduction (Kolodiziev et al., 2020). Feature selection methods are needed for robust firm typologies.
Interpreting Economic Clusters
Clusters must link to metrics like innovation rates and GDP, but validation remains subjective. Oil company studies highlight prolonged innovation pauses unexplained by clusters alone (Matkovskaya et al., 2021, 13 citations). Economic interpretability requires domain-specific validation.
Dynamic Digital Data Streams
Real-time digital transactions demand streaming clustering, unlike static analyses in transport logistics. Forecasting models integrate wavelets but lack adaptive clustering (Karaev et al., 2022, 11 citations). Scalability to evolving datasets poses computational barriers.
