The two-step algorithm uses the(agglomerative) hierarchical clustering method, because it works well with the auto-cluster method. The algorithm is based on a distance measure that gives the best results if all variables are independent, the continuous variables have a normal distribution, and the categorical variables have a multinomial distribution. 2, record 1, English, - two%2Dstep%20algorithm

two-step algorithm : A "two-step algorithm" should not be confused with a "two-stage algorithm. ""Two-step" refers to a process involving two sequential actions, while "two-stage" implies a process with distinct levels or phases of operation. 3, record 1, English, - two%2Dstep%20algorithm

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for mammographic image enhancement, based on identifying the peripheral region of the breast and suppressing the large change in signal caused by reduction of thickness there... The thickness compensation algorithm consists of three processing steps. The first step is to generate a thickness map using two phantoms, one which simulates the shape of the breast in the cranio-caudal projection and a second one as a triangular attenuator. 1, record 2, English, - cranio%2Dcaudal%20projection
