An Experimental Validation of Some Indexes of Fuzzy Clustering Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measuring the similarity between clusterings is a classic problem with several proposed solutions. In this work we focus on measures based on coassociation of data pairs and perform some experiments to investigate whether specificities can be highlighted in their behaviour. A unified formalism is used, which allows easy generalization of several indexes to a fuzzy setting. A selection of indexes is presented, and experiments investigate simplified cases and a paradigmatic real-world case, as an illustration of application.

New 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 ...
متن کاملSpectral indexes of quality, diversity and stability in fuzzy clustering
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...
متن کاملImproving Imbalanced data classification accuracy by using Fuzzy Similarity Measure and subtractive clustering
Classification is an one of the important parts of data mining and knowledge discovery. In most cases, the data that is utilized to used to training the clusters is not well distributed. This inappropriate distribution occurs when one class has a large number of samples but while the number of other class samples is naturally inherently low. In general, the methods of solving this kind of prob...
