An overview and new methods in fuzzy clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
Principal methods in nonhierarchical and hierarchical fuzzy clustering are overviewed. In particular, the method of fuzzy c-means is focused upon and recent algorithms in fuzzy c-means are described. It is shown that the concept of regularization plays an important role in the fuzzy c-means. Classification functions induced from fuzzy clustering are discussed and variations of the standard fuzzy c-means are introduced. The hierarchical classification based on the transitive closure is equivalent to the single link method of agglomerative clustering. The roles of the concept of fuzziness in nonhierarchical and hierarchical methods are thus contrasted.

Bilateral 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 کاملProposing a Novel Cost Sensitive Imbalanced Classification Method based on Hybrid of New Fuzzy Cost Assigning Approaches, Fuzzy Clustering and Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...

متن کاملAn Approach to Reducing Overfitting in FCM with Evolutionary Optimization
Fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. In this research, FCM is chosen for fuzzy clustering. Parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. These two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...
متن کاملNew distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy soft sets
The hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS), as a combination of hesitant fuzzy and soft sets, is regarded as a useful tool for dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity of real-world problems. In HFSSs, each element is defined in terms of several parameters with arbitrary membership degrees. In addition, distance and similarity measures are considered as the important tools in different areas such as ...
