A New Validity Function for Fuzzy Clustering
Yang Li, Fusheng Yu · 2009
This paper first gives a new validity function for fuzzy clustering, then presents a method of the optimal selecting of the cluster number in the standard fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm, and finally outlines the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm with parameters self-adapted. Experimental results carried on synthetic data set and data set based on actual background illustrate the performance of the new validity function and the corresponding fuzzy clustering algorithm.
