Several Formulations for Graded Possibilistic Approach to Fuzzy Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy clustering is a useful tool for capturing intrinsic structure of data sets. This paper proposes several formulations for soft transition of fuzzy memberships from probabilistic partition to possibilistic one. In the proposed techniques, the free memberships are given by introducing additional penalty term used in Possibilistic c-Means. The new features of the proposed techniques are demonstrated in several numerical experiments.

An Algorithm to Model Paradigm Shifting in Fuzzy Clustering
The graded possibilistic clustering paradigm includes as the two extreme cases the “probabilistic” assumption and the “possibilistic” assumption adopted by many clustering algorithms. We propose an implementation of a graded possibilistic clustering algorithm based on an interval equality constraint enforcing both the normality condition and the required graded possibilistic condition. Experime...
متن کاملImage 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 کاملGraded Possibilistic Clustering of Non-stationary Data Streams
Multidimensional data streams are a major paradigm in data science. This work focuses on possibilistic clustering algorithms as means to perform clustering of multidimensional streaming data. The proposed approach exploits fuzzy outlier analysis to provide good learning and tracking abilities in both concept shift and concept drift.
متن کاملA Generalized Approach to Possibilistic Clustering Algorithms
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...
متن کاملUnsupervised Approach Data Analysis Based on Fuzzy Possibilistic Clustering: Application to Medical Image MRI
The analysis and processing of large data are a challenge for researchers. Several approaches have been used to model these complex data, and they are based on some mathematical theories: fuzzy, probabilistic, possibilistic, and evidence theories. In this work, we propose a new unsupervised classification approach that combines the fuzzy and possibilistic theories; our purpose is to overcome th...
