In data mining clustering techniques are used to group together the objects showing similar characteristics within the same cluster and the objects demonstrating different characteristics are grouped into clusters. Clustering approaches can be classified into two categories namelyHard clustering and Soft clustering. In hard clustering data is divided into clusters in such a way that each data i...

This paper proposes a fixed clustering algorithm (FCA) to improve energy efficiency for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to reduce the consuming energy of sending data at each sensor, the proposed algorithm uniformly divides the sensing area into clusters where the cluster head is deployed in the center of the cluster area. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm definitely...

This paper presents a comparative study between three versions of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) algorithms and a pseudo-forward equation (PFE) to characterize the North Sea reservoir (F3 block) based on seismic data. According to the statistical studies, four attributes (energy, envelope, spectral decomposition and similarity) are known to be useful as fundamental attributes in ...

Data clustering is an important area of data mining. This is an unsupervised study where data of similar types are put into one cluster while data of another types are put into different cluster. Fuzzy C means is a very important clustering technique based on fuzzy logic. Also we have some hard clustering techniques available like K-means among the popular ones. In this paper a comparative stud...

Fuzzy cellular automata (FCA) are cellular automata where the local rule is defined as the “fuzzification" of the local rule of the corresponding Boolean cellular automaton in disjunctive normal form. In this paper we are interested in two separate issues: the relationship between Boolean and fuzzy models, and the asymptotic behavior of elementary fuzzy cellular automata. On the first issue, we...

According to the standard fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm performed poor in the clustering effect during the clustering process. This paper presents an objective function optimization based on the attribute weighted and the objective function optimization. Firstly, use a little prior knowledge as the labeled sample. These calibrated samples information are used as the prior knowledge, and th...

Clustering is a popular data analysis and data mining technique. In this paper, a novel chaotic particle swarm fuzzy clustering (CPSFC) algorithm based on chaotic particle swarm (CPSO) and gradient method is proposed. Fuzzy clustering model optimization is challenging, in order to solve this problem, adaptive inertia weight factor (AIWF) and iterative chaotic map with infinite collapses (ICMIC)...

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 current study, a particle swarm clustering method is suggested for clustering triangular fuzzy data. This clustering method can find fuzzy cluster centers in the proposed method, where fuzzy cluster centers contain more points from the corresponding cluster, the higher clustering accuracy. Also, triangular fuzzy numbers are utilized to demonstrate uncertain data. To compare triangular fuzzy ...

Challenged by real-world clustering problems this paper proposes a novel fuzzy clustering scheme of datasets produced in the context of intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. More specifically, we introduce a variant of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm that copes with uncertainty and a similarity measure between intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which is appropriately integrated in the clusterin...
