To recognize functional sites within a protein sequence, the non-numerical attributes of the sequence need encoding prior to using a pattern recognition algorithm. The success of recognition depends on the efficient coding of the biological information contained in the sequence. In this regard, a bio-basis function maps a non-numerical sequence space to a numerical feature space, based on an am...

Recently, Carlsson and Fuller [C. Carlsson, R. Fuller, On possibilistic mean value and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 122 (2001) 315–326] have introduced possibilistic mean, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers and Fuller and Majlender [R. Fuller, P. Majlender, On weighted possibilistic mean and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 363–374] have in...

In this paper, we analyzed the segmentation of MRI brain image into different tissue types on brain image using Possibilistic fuzzy c-means (PFCM) clustering. Application of this method to MRI brain image gives the better segmentation result in compare with Fuzzy c-mean (FCM) and fuzzy possibilistic c-means (FPCM). The results are verified quantitatively using similarity metrics, false positive...

Clustering algorithms have been widely used artificial intelligence, data mining and machine learning, etc. It is unsupervised classification and is divided into groups according to data sets. That is, the data sets of similarity partition belong to the same group; otherwise data sets divide other groups in the clustering algorithms. In general, to analysis interval data needs Type II fuzzy log...

In this paper, fuzzy possibilistic c-means (FPCM) approach based on penalized and compensated constraints are proposed to vector quantization (VQ) in discrete cosine transform (DCT) for image compression. These approaches are named penalized fuzzy possibilistic c-means (PFPCM) and compensated fuzzy possibilistic c-means (CFPCM). The main purpose is to modify the FPCM strategy with penalized or ...

In data mining clustering techniques are used to group together the objects showing similar characteristics within the same cluster and the objects demonstrating different characteristics are grouped into clusters. Clustering approaches can be classified into two categories namelyHard clustering and Soft clustering. In hard clustering data is divided into clusters in such a way that each data i...

Fuzzy clustering is an approach using the fuzzy set theory as a tool for data grouping, which has advantages over traditional clustering in many applications. Many fuzzy clustering algorithms have been developed in the literature including fuzzy c-means and possibilistic clustering algorithms, which are all objective-function based methods. Different from the existing fuzzy clustering approache...

Up to now, several algorithms for clustering large data sets have been presented. Most clustering approaches for data sets are the crisp ones, which cannot be well suitable to the fuzzy case. In this paper, the authors explore a single pass approach to fuzzy possibilistic clustering over large data set. The basic idea of the proposed approach (weighted fuzzy-possibilistic c-means, WFPCM) is to ...

The 'kernel method' has attracted great attention with the development of support vector machine (SVM) and has been studied in a general way. In this paper, this 'method' is extended to the well-known fuzzy c-means (FCM) and possibilistic c-means (PCM) algorithms. It is realized by substitution of a kernel-induced distance metric for the original Euclidean distance, and the corresponding algori...

Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is an important clustering algorithm with broad applications such as retail market data analysis, network monitoring, web usage mining, and stock prediction. Especially, parameters in FCM have influence on results. However, a lot of did not solve the problem, that is, how to set parameters. In this study, we present kind method for computing values according role process. Ne...
