The paper presents two methods offering flexible solutions to cluster-analysis problems. The first one employs a genetic-algorithm-based Travelling-Salesman-Problem-solution, and the second one – self-organizing Kohonen networks. The operation of both techniques has been illustrated with the use of synthetic data set and then they have been tested by means of real-life, multidimensional Mushrooms Database (8124 records) available from the FTP server of the University of California at Irvine (ftp.ics.uci.edu).
