چکیده مقاله:

The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is presented to cluster incomplete fuzzy data. The method substitutes missing attribute by a trapezoidal fuzzy number to be determined by using the corresponding attribute of q nearest-neighbor. Comparisons and analysis of the experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method.

Fuzzy c-means clustering of incomplete data

The problem of clustering a real s-dimensional data set X={x(1 ),,,,,x(n)} subset R(s) is considered. Usually, each observation (or datum) consists of numerical values for all s features (such as height, length, etc.), but sometimes data sets can contain vectors that are missing one or more of the feature values. For example, a particular datum x(k) might be incomplete, having the form x(k)=(25...

Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm for directional data (FCM4DD)

Cluster analysis is a useful tool used commonly in data analysis. The purpose of cluster analysis is to separate data sets into subsets according to their similarities and dissimilarities. In this paper, the fuzzy c-means algorithm was adapted for directional data. In the literature, several methods have been used for the clustering of directional data. Due to the use of trigonometric functions...
