Integrating Fuzzy c-Means Clustering with PostgreSQL
نویسنده
چکیده
Many data sets to be clustered are stored in relational databases. Having a clusterization algorithm implemented in SQL provides easier clusterization inside a relational DBMS than outside with some alternative tools. In this paper we propose Fuzzy c-Means clustering algorithm adapted for PostgreSQL open-source relational DBMS.

OPTIMIZATION OF FUZZY CLUSTERING CRITERIA BY A HYBRID PSO AND FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM
This paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (FPSO) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. When the problem becomes large, theFCM algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. The PSO algorithm does find ago...
متن کاملBilateral Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...
متن کاملA Fuzzy C-means Algorithm for Clustering Fuzzy Data and Its Application in Clustering Incomplete Data
The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...
