In this paper, we propose an approach to cluster analysis based on two levels: a neural network and an heuristic clustering algorithm. The neural network provides data compression such as the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the weights must be as near as to the p.d.f. of the data. During the clustering step which is based on the estimation of the gradient of the p.d.f., each available vector weight, or prototype, is moved in the direction of the p.d.f. gradient approximation. The process is iterated until the normalised local gradient is equal to zero, which result near the modes of the p.d.f.
