A cluster validity index for fuzzy clustering
Cluster validity indexes have been used to evaluate the fitness of partitions produced by clustering algorithms. This paper presents a new validity index for fuzzy clustering called a partition coefficient and exponential separation (PCAES) index. It uses the factors from a normalized partition coefficient and an exponential separation measure for each cluster and then pools these two factors t...
متن کاملA new cluster validity index for the fuzzy c-mean
In this paper a new cluster validity index is introduced, which assesses the average compactness and separation of fuzzy partitions generated by the fuzzy c-means algorithm. To compare the performance of this new index with a number of known validation indices, the fuzzy partitioning of two data sets was carried out. Our validation performed favorably in all studies, even in those where other v...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Cluster Validity Index for the Fuzzy C-means
Based on the basic theory of fuzzy set, this paper suggests the notion of FCM fuzzy set, which is subject to the constraint condition of fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. The cluster fuzzy degree and the lattice degree of approaching for the FCM fuzzy set are presented, and their functions in the validation process of fuzzy clustering are deeply analyzed. A new cluster validity index is propo...
متن کاملFuzzy Cluster Quality Index using Decision Theory
Abstract Clustering can be defined as the process of grouping physical or abstract objects into classes of similar objects. It’s an unsupervised learning problem of organizing unlabeled objects into natural groups in such a way objects in the same group is more similar than objects in the different groups. Conventional clustering algorithms cannot handle uncertainty that exists in the real life...
متن کاملValidity Index and number of clusters
Clustering (or cluster analysis) has been used widely in pattern recognition, image processing, and data analysis. It aims to organize a collection of data items into c clusters, such that items within a cluster are more similar to each other than they are items in the other clusters. The number of clusters c is the most important parameter, in the sense that the remaining parameters have less ...
