Fuzzy C- Means Algorithm- A Review

چکیده
Clustering is a task of assigning a set of objects into groups called clusters. In general the clustering algorithms can be classified into two categories. One is hard clustering; another one is soft (fuzzy) clustering. Hard clustering, the data’s are divided into distinct clusters, where each data element belongs to exactly one cluster. In soft clustering, data elements belong to more than one cluster, and associated with each element is a set of membership levels. In this paper we represent a survey on fuzzy c means clustering algorithm. These algorithms have recently been shown to produce good results in a wide variety of real world applications.

A 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...

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...

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 کاملRefining membership degrees obtained from fuzzy C-means by re-fuzzification
Fuzzy C-mean (FCM) is the most well-known and widely-used fuzzy clustering algorithm. However, one of the weaknesses of the FCM is the way it assigns membership degrees to data which is based on the distance to the cluster centers. Unfortunately, the membership degrees are determined without considering the shape and density of the clusters. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which takes th...
