Clustering of Fuzzy Data Sets Based on Particle Swarm Optimization With Fuzzy Cluster Centers
In current study, a particle swarm clustering method is suggested for clustering triangular fuzzy data. This clustering method can find fuzzy cluster centers in the proposed method, where fuzzy cluster centers contain more points from the corresponding cluster, the higher clustering accuracy. Also, triangular fuzzy numbers are utilized to demonstrate uncertain data. To compare triangular fuzzy ...
متن کاملA 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 کاملVisual cluster validity for prototype generator clustering models
Conventional cluster validity techniques usually represent all the validity information available about a particular clustering by a single numbel. The display method introduced here uses images generated lrom the results of any prototype generator clustering algorithm to do cluster validation.
متن کاملClustering of the self-organizing map using a clustering validity index based on inter-cluster and intra-cluster density
The self-organizing map (SOM) has been widely used in many industrial applications. Classical clustering methods based on the SOM often fail to deliver satisfactory results, specially when clusters have arbitrary shapes. In this paper, through some preprocessing techniques for 4ltering out noises and outliers, we propose a new two-level SOM-based clustering algorithm using a clustering validity...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Clustering and Validity Index for Mixed Data
This study develops novel approaches to partition mixed data into natural groups, that is, clustering datasets containing both numeric and nominal attributes. Such data arises in many diverse applications. Our approach addresses two important issues regarding clustering mixed datasets. One is how to find the optimal number of clusters which is important because this is unknown in many applicati...
