Considering the multi-cluster feature of serial criminal spots, we propose a Multi-point Centrography model as a natural extension of Single-point Centrography for geographic profiling. K-means clustering is first performed on the data samples and then Single-point Centrography is adopted to derive a probability distribution on each cluster. Finally, a weighted combinations of each distribution is formed to make next-crime spot prediction. Experimental study on real cases demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed model. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {6}, number = {1}, year = {2012}, pages = {114 - 117}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3257}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/61}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 61, 2012}, }
