background: in this paper we compare a highly accurate supervised to an unsupervised technique that uses breast thermal images with the aim of assisting physicians in early detection of breast cancer. methods: first, we segmented the images and determined the region of interest. then, 23 features that included statistical, morphological, frequency domain, histogram and gray-level co-occurrence ...

Abstract The priori knowledge of the radar can not be used by the traditional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, which leads a poor accuracy of the data association. An improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. The real-time change rate of the track slope of moving targets measured by radar is used to update the weight. Then the objective function of fuzzy C-means ...

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 fuzz...

Kernelized Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique is an attempt to improve the performance of the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique. Recently this technique where a kernel-induced distance function is used as a similarity measure instead of a Euclidean distance which is used in the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique, has earned popularity among research community. Like th...

Interval-valued data can find their practical applications in such situations as recording monthlyinterval temperatures at meteorological stations, daily interval stock prices, etc. The primary objectiveof the presented paper is to compare three different methods of fuzzy clustering for interval-valuedsymbolic data, i.e.: fuzzy c-means clustering, adaptive fuzzy c-means clustering a...

In data mining, the conventional clustering algorithms have difficulties in handling the challenges posed by the collection of natural data which is often vague and uncertain. Fuzzy clustering methods have the potential to manage such situations efficiently. This paper introduces the limitations of conventional clustering methods through k-means and fuzzy c-means clustering and demonstrates the...

In Data mining, Fuzzy clustering algorithms have demonstrated advantage over crisp clustering algorithms in dealing with the challenges posed by large collections of vague and uncertain natural data. This paper reviews concept of fuzzy logic and fuzzy clustering. The classical fuzzy c-means algorithm is presented and its limitations are highlighted. Based on the study of the fuzzy c-means algor...
