Mixed-variable fuzzy clustering approach to part family and machine cell formation for GT applications
Group technology (GT) is a useful way to increase productivity with high quality in flexible manufacturing systems. Cell formation (CF) is a key step in GT. It is used to design a good cellular manufacturing system that uses the similarity measure between parts and machines so that it can identify part families and machine groups. Recently, fuzzy clustering has been applied in GT because the fu...
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 کاملA Validity Measure for a ew Hybrid Data Clustering
Data clustering method is a process of putting similar data into groups. A clustering method partitions a data set into several groups such that the similarity within a group is larger than among groups. It has been playing an important role in solving many problems in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper, a new method called hybrid clustering method is obtained by the most r...
متن کاملA New Validity Measure for Heuristic Possibilistic Clustering
A heuristic approach to possibilistic clustering is the effective tool for the data analysis. The approach is based on the concept of allotment among fuzzy clusters. To establish the number of clusters in a data set, a validity measure is proposed in this paper. An illustrative example of application of the proposed validity measure to the Anderson’s Iris data is given. A comparison of the vali...
متن کاملA Hybrid Fuzzy Clustering Method with a Robust Validity Index
A robust validity index for fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The purpose of fuzzy clustering is to partition a given set of training data into several different clusters that can then be modeled by fuzzy theory. The FCM algorithm has become the most widely used method in fuzzy clustering. Although, there are some successful applications of FCM have been proposed, a disad...
