Cluster validity for FCM clustering algorithm using uniform data
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main drawbacks of the FCM clustering algorithm is that it does not calculate the suitable number of clusters. This paper presents a method to solve this problem, by means of an equalization function (using uniform data) for the FCM functional J. The results for 2 and 3 dimensional data tests are also presented.

Entropy-based Consensus for Distributed Data Clustering
The increasingly larger scale of available data and the more restrictive concerns on their privacy are some of the challenging aspects of data mining today. In this paper, Entropy-based Consensus on Cluster Centers (EC3) is introduced for clustering in distributed systems with a consideration for confidentiality of data; i.e. it is the negotiations among local cluster centers that are used in t...
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...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Hard and Fuzzy Data Clustering Algorithms with Cluster Validity Indices
Data clustering is one of the important data mining methods. It is a process of finding classes of a data set with most similarity in the same class and most dissimilarity between different classes. The well known hard clustering algorithm (K -means) and Fuzzy clustering algorithm (FCM) are mostly based on Euclidean distance measure. In this paper, a comparative study of these algorithms with d...
