A Machine Learning Based Intelligent Decision Support System for Flotation Dynamics in Simulation of Clay Minerals

Algorithm 1

The data aggregation approach.

	Input: Original dataset denoted by points Di and Dj
	Output: Refined dataset denoted by two points and
	for each element i, j in Di, Dj
	if j ≤ i or i  Di or j  Dj
	exit()
	end if
	Ed(Di, Dj) =  (dik − minjk)^2 where dik є Di and djk є Dj
	if Ed(Di, Dj) ≤ Tdthen
	Discard either Di or Dj, to form or
	end if
