Spectral indexes of quality, diversity and stability in fuzzy clustering

چکیده
Quality assessment in clustering is a long-standing problem. In this contribution we describe some indexes to measure properties of clusterings, taking advantage of the added flexibility provided by fuzzy paradigms. We first present an approach to evaluate some indicators of quality of an individual clustering, by analyzing the co-association matrix. Then we describe a technique to evaluate the similarity of pairs of clusterings by comparing their respective coassociation matrices by means of generalizations of well-known indexes of partition comparisons. Finally, we illustrate how some indexes borrowed from spectral graph theory can be used to evaluate clustering stability and diversity in ensembles of several clusterings.

Stability and Performances in Biclustering Algorithms
Stability is an important property of machine learning algorithms. Stability in clustering may be related to clustering quality or ensemble diversity, and therefore used in several ways to achieve a deeper understanding or better confidence in bioinformatic data analysis. In the specific field of fuzzy biclustering, stability can be analyzed by porting the definition of existing stability index...
متن کاملA new ensemble clustering method based on fuzzy cmeans clustering while maintaining diversity in ensemble
An ensemble clustering has been considered as one of the research approaches in data mining, pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence over the last decade. In clustering, the combination first produces several bases clustering, and then, for their aggregation, a function is used to create a final cluster that is as similar as possible to all the cluster bundles. The inp...
متن کاملPrediction of slope stability using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system based on clustering methods
Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...
