A Heuristic Approach to Possibilistic Clustering for Fuzzy Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper deals with the problem of the fuzzy data clustering. In other words, objects attributes can be represented by fuzzy numbers or fuzzy intervals. A direct algorithm of possibilistic clustering is the basis of an approach to the fuzzy data clustering. The paper provides the basic ideas of the method of clustering and a plan of the direct possibilistic clustering algorithm. Definitions of fuzzy intervals and fuzzy numbers are presented and distances for fuzzy numbers are considered. A concept of a vector of fuzzy numbers is introduced and the fuzzy data preprocessing methodology for constructing of a fuzzy tolerance matrix is described. A numerical example is given and results of application of the direct possibilistic clustering algorithm to a set of vectors of triangular fuzzy numbers are considered in the example. Some preliminary conclusions are stated.

Image Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach
Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...

متن کاملA New Validity Measure for Heuristic Possibilistic Clustering
A heuristic approach to possibilistic clustering is the effective tool for the data analysis. The approach is based on the concept of allotment among fuzzy clusters. To establish the number of clusters in a data set, a validity measure is proposed in this paper. An illustrative example of application of the proposed validity measure to the Anderson’s Iris data is given. A comparison of the vali...
