As the mobile communication devices become popular, getting the location data of various objects is more convenient than before. Mobile groups that exhibit spatial and temporal proximities can be used for marketing, criminal detection, and ecological studies, just to name a few. Although nowadays the most advanced position equipments are capable of achieving a high accuracy with the measurement error less than 10 meters, they are still expensive. Positioning equipments using different technologies incur different amount of measurement errors ranging from 10 meters to a few hundred meters. In this thesis, we examine the impact of measurement errors on the accuracy of identified valid mobile groups and apply Kalman Filter and RTS smoothing as the one-way and two-way correction to correct the measurement data. In most settings, the corrected location data yield more accurate valid mobile groups. However, when the measurement error is small and users do not make abrupt change in their speed, mining mobile groups directly on the measurement data, however, yield better results.
