This paper presents a fuzzy clustering algorithm, called the alternative fuzzy c-numbers (AFCN) clustering algorithm, for LR-type fuzzy numbers based on an exponential-type distance function. On the basis of the gross error sensitivity and in7uence function, this exponential-type distance is claimed to be robust with respect to noise and outliers. Hence, the AFCN clustering algorithm is more ro...

In this work, a hierarchical ensemble of projected clustering algorithm for high-dimensional data is proposed. The basic concept of the algorithm is based on the active learning method (ALM) which is a fuzzy learning scheme, inspired by some behavioral features of human brain functionality. High-dimensional unsupervised active learning method (HUALM) is a clustering algorithm which blurs the da...

multicast routing is one of the most important services in multi radio multi channel (mrmc) wireless mesh networks (wmn). multicast routing performance in wmns could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. in this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in wmns. the channels...

Aimed at fuzzy clustering based on the generalized entropy, an image segmentation algorithm by joining space information of image is presented in this paper. For solving the optimization problem with generalized entropy’s fuzzy clustering, both Hopfield neural network and multi-synapse neural network are used in order to obtain cluster centers and fuzzy membership degrees. In addition, to impro...

A quality of centroid-based clustering is highly dependent on initialization. In the article we propose initialization based on the probability of finding objects, which could represent individual clusters. We present results of experiments which compare the quality of clustering obtained by k-means algorithm and by selected methods for fuzzy clustering: FCM (fuzzy c-means), PCA (possibilistic ...

An improved fuzzy c-means algorithm is put forward and applied to deal with meteorological data on top of the traditional fuzzy c-means algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves the classical fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM) by adopting a novel strategy for selecting the initial cluster centers, to solve the problem that the traditional fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm has difficulty in s...

This study proposes a novel Intuitionistic fuzzy c-least squares support vector regression (IFCLSSVR) with sammon mapping clustering algorithm. The proposed clustering algorithm can obtain the advantages of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, LSSVR, and sammon mapping in actual clustering problems. Moreover, IFC-LSSVR with sammon mapping adopts particle swarm optimization (PSO) to search optimal paramet...

In this paper, we present a missing data imputation method based on one of the most popular techniques in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), i.e. clustering technique. We combine the clustering method with soft computing, which tends to be more tolerant of imprecision and uncertainty, and apply a fuzzy clustering algorithm to deal with incomplete data. Our experiments show that the fuzzy i...

In fuzzy clustering algorithms each object has a fuzzy membership associated with each cluster indicating the degree of association of the object to the cluster. Here we present a fuzzy subspace clustering algorithm, FSC, in which each dimension has a weight associated with each cluster indicating the degree of importance of the dimension to the cluster. Using fuzzy techniques for subspace clus...
