Clustering data is a very important task in data mining, image processing and pattern recognition problems. One of the most popular clustering algorithms is the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). This thesis proposes to implement a new way of calculating the cluster centers in the procedure of FCM algorithm which are called ckMeans, and in some variants of FCM, in particular, here we apply it for those variants that use other distances. The goal of this change is to reduce the number of iterations and processing time of these algorithms without affecting the quality of the partition, or even to improve the number of correct classifications in some cases. Also, we developed an algorithm based on ckMeans to manipulate interval data considering interval membership degrees. This algorithm allows the representation of data without converting interval data into punctual ones, as it happens to other extensions of FCM that deal with interval data. In order to validate the proposed methodologies it was made a comparison between a clustering for ckMeans, K-Means and FCM algorithms (since the algorithm proposed in this paper to calculate the centers is similar to the K-Means) considering three different distances. We used several known databases. In this case, the results of Interval ckMeans were compared with the results of other clustering algorithms when applied to an interval database with minimum and maximum temperature of the month for a given year, referring to 37 cities distributed across continents
Agrupar dados ? uma tarefa muito importante em minera??o de dados, processamento de imagens e em problemas de reconhecimento de padr?es. Um dos algoritmos de agrupamentos mais popular ? o Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). Esta tese prop?e aplicar uma nova forma de calcular os centros dos clusters no algoritmo FCM, que denominamos de ckMeans, e que pode ser tamb?m aplicada em algumas variantes do FCM, em particular aqui aplicamos naquelas variantes que usam outras dist?ncias. Com essa modifica??o, pretende-se reduzir o n?mero de itera??es e o tempo de processamento desses algoritmos sem afetar a qualidade da parti??o ou at? melhorar o n?mero de classifica??es corretas em alguns casos. Tamb?m, desenvolveu-se um algoritmo baseado no ckMeans para manipular dados intervalares considerando graus de pertin?ncia intervalares. Este algoritmo possibilita a representa??o dos dados sem convers?o dos dados intervalares para pontuais, como ocorre com outras extens?es do FCM que lidam com dados intervalares. Para validar com as metodologias propostas, comparou-se o agrupamento ckMeans com os algoritmos K-Means (pois o algoritmo proposto neste trabalho para c?lculo dos centros se assemelha ? do K-Means) e FCM, considerando tr?s dist?ncias diferentes. Foram utilizadas v?rias bases de dados conhecidas. No caso, os resultados do ckMeans intervalar, foram comparadas com outros algoritmos de agrupamento intervalar quando aplicadas a uma base de dados intervalar com a temperatura m?nima e m?xima do m?s de um determinado ano, referente a 37 cidades distribu?das entre os continentes

Повний текст джерелаRelational Fuzzy Clustering is a recent growing area of study. New algorithms have been developed,as FastMap Fuzzy c-Means (FMFCM) and the Fuzzy Additive Spectral Clustering Method(FADDIS), for which it had been obtained interesting experimental results in the corresponding founding works. Since these algorithms are new in the context of the Fuzzy Relational clustering community, not many experimental studies are available. This thesis comes in response to the need of further investigation on these algorithms, concerning a comparative experimental study from the two families of algorithms: the parallel and the sequential versions. These two families of algorithms differ in the way they cluster data. Parallel versions extract clusters simultaneously from data and need the number of clusters as an input parameter of the algorithms, while the sequential versions extract clusters one-by-one until a stop condition is verified, being the number of clusters a natural output of the algorithm. The algorithms are studied in their effectiveness on retrieving good cluster structures by analysing the quality of the partitions as well as the determination of the number of clusters by applying several validation measures. An extensive simulation study has been conducted over two data generators specifically constructed for the algorithms under study, in particular to study their robustness for data with noise. Results with benchmark real data are also discussed. Particular attention is made on the most adequate pre-processing on relational data, in particular on the pseudo-inverse Laplacian transformation.

Повний текст джерелаO afloramento costeiro (upwelling) ao largo da costa de Portugal Continental é um fenómeno bem estudado na literatura oceanográfica. No entanto, existem poucos trabalhos na literatura científica sobre a sua detecção automática, em particular utilizando técnicas de clustering. Algoritmos de agrupamento difuso (fuzzy clustering) têm sido bastante explorados na área de detecção remota e segmentação de imagem, e investigação recente mostrou que essas técnicas conseguem resultados promissores na detecção do upwelling a partir de mapas de temperatura da superfície do oceano, obtidos por imagens de satélite. No trabalho a desenvolver nesta dissertação, propõe-se definir um método que consiga identificar automaticamente a região que define o fenómeno. Como objecto de estudo, foram analisados dois conjuntos independentes de mapas de temperatura, num total de 61 mapas, cobrindo a diversidade de cenários em que o upwelling ocorre. Focando o domínio do problema, foi desenvolvido trabalho de pesquisa bibliográfica ao nível de literatura de referência e estudos mais recentes, principalmente sobre os temas de técnicas de agrupamento, agrupamento difuso e a sua aplicação à segmentação de imagem. Com base num dos algoritmos com mais influência na literatura, o Fuzzy c-means (FCM), foi desenvolvida uma nova abordagem, utilizando o método de inicialização ‘Anomalous Pattern’, que tenta resolver dois problemas base do FCM: a validação do melhor número de clusters e a dependência da inicialização aleatória. Após um estudo das condições de paragem do novo algoritmo, AP-FCM, estabeleceu-se uma parametrização que determina automaticamente um bom número de clusters. Análise aos resultados obtidos mostra que as segmentações geradas são de qualidade elevada, reproduzindo fidedignamente as estruturas presentes nos mapas originais, e que, computacionalmente, o AP-FCM é mais eficiente que o FCM. Foi ainda implementado um outro algoritmo, com base numa técnica de Histogram Thresholding, que, obtendo também boas segmentações, não permite uma parametrização para a definição automática do número de grupos. A partir das segmentações obtidas, foi desenvolvido um módulo de definição de features, a partir das quais se criou um critério composto que permite a identificação automática do cluster que delimita a região de upwelling.

Повний текст джерелаIn den letzten Jahren hat sich das World Wide Web dramatisch verändert. War es vor einigen Jahren noch primär eine Informationsquelle, in der ein kleiner Anteil der Nutzer Inhalte veröffentlichen konnte, so hat sich daraus eine Kommunikationsplattform entwickelt, in der jeder Nutzer aktiv teilnehmen kann. Die dadurch enstehende Datenmenge behandelt jeden Aspekt des täglichen Lebens. So auch Qualitätsthemen. Die Analyse der Daten verspricht Qualitätssicherungsmaßnahmen deutlich zu verbessern. Es können dadurch Themen behandelt werden, die mit klassischen Sensoren schwer zu messen sind. Die systematische und reproduzierbare Analyse von benutzergenerierten Daten erfordert jedoch die Anpassung bestehender Tools sowie die Entwicklung neuer Social-Media spezifischer Algorithmen. Diese Arbeit schafft hierfür ein völlig neues Social Media Monitoring-System, mit dessen Hilfe ein Analyst tausende Benutzerbeiträge mit minimaler Zeitanforderung analysieren kann. Die Anwendung des Systems hat einige Vorteile aufgezeigt, die es ermöglichen, die kundengetriebene Definition von \"Qualität\" zu erkennen

Повний текст джерелаBy clustering one seeks to partition a given set of points into a number of clusters such that points in the same cluster are similar and are dissimilar to points in other clusters. In the virtue of this goal, data of relational nature become typical for clustering. The similarity and dissimilarity relations between the data points are supposed to be the nuts and bolts for cluster formation. Thus, the task is driven by the notion of similarity between the data points. In practice, the similarity is usually measured by the pairwise distances between the data points. Indeed, the objective function of the two widely used clustering algorithms, namely, k-means and fuzzy c-means, appears in terms of the pairwise distances between the data points.
The clustering task is complicated by the choice of the distance measure and estimating the number of clusters. Fuzzy c-means is convenient when there are uncertainties in allocating points, in overlapping areas, to clusters. The k-means algorithm allocates the points unequivocally to clusters; overlooking the similarities between those points in overlapping areas. The fuzzy approach allows a point to be a member in as many clusters as necessary; thus it provides better insight into the relations between the points in overlapping areas.
In this thesis we develop a relational framework that is inspired by the silhouette measure of clustering quality. The framework asserts the relations between the data points by means of logical reasoning with the cluster membership values. The original description of computing the silhouettes is limited to crisp partitions. A natural generalization of silhouettes, to fuzzy partitions is given within our framework. Moreover, two notions of silhouettes emerge within the framework at different levels of granularity, namely, point-wise silhouette and center-wise silhouette. Now by the generalization, each silhouette is capable of measuring the extent to which a crisp, or fuzzy, partition has fulfilled the clustering goal at the level of the individual points, or cluster centers. The partitions are evaluated by the silhouette measure in conjunction with point-to-point or center-to-point distances.
By the generalization, the average silhouette value becomes a reasonable device for selecting between crisp and fuzzy partitions of the same data set. Accordingly, one can find about which partition is better in representing the relations between the data points, in accordance with their pairwise distances. Such powerful feature of the generalized silhouettes has exposed a problem with the partitions generated by fuzzy c-means. We have observed that defuzzifying the fuzzy c-means partitions always improves the overall representation of the relations between the data points. This is due to the inconsistency between some of the membership values and the distances between the data points. This inconsistency was reported, by others, in a couple of occasions in real life applications.
Finally, we present an experiment that demonstrates a successful application of the generalized silhouette measure in feature selection for highly imbalanced classification. A significant improvement in the classification for a real data set has resulted from a significant reduction in the number of features.

A escolha do método de segmentação, é de primordial importância, pois os dados que se obtêm podem alterar a estratégia de selecção do mercado alvo e a estratégia de posicionamento dos produtos ou serviços, para além dos custos inerentes á tomada da decisão. Este estudo procura encontrar diferenças entre dois métodos de segmentação descritivos post-hoc, (k-means e Fuzzy C-Means), na obtenção dos clusters, tendo por base a população portuguesa que gosta de música e que tem conta activa no Facebook. No âmbito deste trabalho realizou-se uma revisão da literatura conhecida tendo-se efectuado a segmentação da amostra obtida através de dois algoritmos. Complementou-se o estudo com uma análise descritiva das frequências de modo, aquisição e audição dos vários tipos de música.

Traffic accidents represent, in Brazil, a serious economic and especially social, relevant for magnitude of the mortality and number of people suffering from sequelae arising, thus becoming a serious public health problem. This research aimed to develop a model to support decision making based on fuzzy logic, supported by analyzes spatial and spatio-temporal (Scan method) to categorize neighborhoods according to priority intervention for prevention and control of traffic accidents that produce victims. Secondary data were georeferenced and recorded by Mobile Emergency Care Service in João Pessoa, Paraíba, in the years 2010 and 2011. Throughout study period, João Pessoa was 10,070 traffic accidents with victims. Of this total, 17.8% had breath ethanol and 0.8% died at the scene. The majority of victims were male (74.5%), belonging to the age group 20-29 years (37.7%). The accidents occurred mainly on Sundays (19.2%), Saturdays (18.7%) and on Fridays (14.4%) as well as in the months of December (10%), October (9.8% ) and May (8.9%). Most of the vehicles involved was composed by motorcycles (68.1%) and cars (36.5%). The nature of accident, collision was more frequent (46.2%), followed by fall motorcycle (30.7%) and pedestrian injuries (11.1%). In analysis of the relative risk and spatial distribution of these events, it was found that neighborhoods with high relative risk and formed significant spatial clusters concentrated in the north, northwest and northeast of the municipality. We identified 15 clusters space-time, which concentrated mainly in the northern, northeastern and coastal strip of the municipality. It was observed that neighborhoods reported by Mobile Emergency Care Service were categorized as priority by model, Valentina and Mandacaru were categorized as with tendency to priority, and Mangabeira was categorized as non-priority. The proposed decision model showed good agreement when compared with Mobile Emergency Care Service, thus satisfying the identification and classification of neighborhoods as a priority, with tendency to priority, with tendency to non-priority and non-priority. The results may be of relevance to both Mobile Emergency Care Service as to other public officials linked to road traffic, traffic education and care for victims produced by road traffic in João Pessoa.
Os acidentes de trânsito representam, no Brasil, um grave problema econômico e principalmente social, relevante pela magnitude da mortalidade e do número de pessoas portadoras de sequelas decorrentes, tornando-se assim um grave problema de saúde pública. Este trabalho objetivou elaborar um modelo de apoio à tomada de decisão baseado em lógica fuzzy, apoiado pelas análises espacial e espaço-temporal (método Scan), para categorizar os bairros de acordo com o grau de prioridade de intervenção para a prevenção e combate dos acidentes de trânsito que produzam vítimas. Foram utilizados dados secundários georreferenciados e registrados pelo Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência na cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, nos anos 2010 e 2011. Ao longo do período de estudo, João Pessoa apresentou 10.070 ocorrências de AT com vítimas. Deste total, 17,8% apresentaram hálito etílico e 0,8% morreram no local do acidente. A maioria das vítimas foi do sexo masculino (74,5%), pertencente à faixa etária de 20 a 29 anos (37,7%). Os acidentes ocorreram principalmente aos domingos (19,2%), aos sábados (18,7%) e às sextas-feiras (14,4%), bem como nos meses de dezembro (10%), outubro (9,8%) e maio (8,9%). A maioria dos veículos envolvidos foi composta por motocicletas (68,1%) e carros (36,5%). Quanto à natureza do acidente, a colisão foi mais frequente (46,2%), seguida por queda de motocicleta (30,7%) e atropelamento (11,1%). Na análise do risco relativo e da distribuição espacial destes eventos, verificou-se que os bairros com alto risco relativo e que formaram conglomerados espaciais significativos concentraram-se nas regiões norte, noroeste e nordeste do município. Foram identificados 15 conglomerados espaço-temporais, que se concentraram principalmente nas regiões norte, nordeste e faixa litorânea do município. Observou-se que os bairros relatados pelo SAMU/JP foram categorizados pelo modelo como prioritários, Mandacaru e Valentina, os quais foram categorizados como com tendência a prioritários, e Mangabeira, categorizado como não prioritário. O modelo de decisão proposto apresentou boa concordância quando comparado com o SAMU/JP, sendo assim satisfatório na identificação e classificação dos bairros como prioritários, com tendência a prioritários, com tendência a não prioritários e não prioritários. Os resultados desta pesquisa podem ser de relevância tanto para o SAMU/JP quanto para outros órgãos gestores públicos ligados ao trânsito, educação para o trânsito e atendimento às vítimas produzidas pelo trânsito no município de João Pessoa-PB.

The design of hydrologically homogeneous regions (RHH) is an essential procedure to provide information essential to the modeling, planning, and management of water resources, especially when it is necessary to perform the regionalization of flows, aiming to estimate the water availability in sections without measurements. The definition of strategies for the management and conservation of natural resources depends on information obtained through the identification of RHH, also being one of the steps of a study of regionalization of flows. Thus, this work has the objective of identifying the RHH in the state of Paraná through the grouping method Fuzzy C-Means. A total of 9 variables were used for the 114 fluviometric stations, with 4 dependent variables related to the characteristic flows (annual average long-term flow (Qmld), minimum annual flow with seven days duration and 10-year return period (Q7,10), flow rates associated to the 95% (Q95) and 90% (Q90) permanencies) and 5 independent variables related to the morphometric characteristics of the station (drainage area (AD - m²), sum of drainage (SD - m) (LA - Lat and longitude - Long). From the principal components analysis (PCA), the variables Qmld, DD, Lat and Long were identified as the least representative, being discarded from the study, proceeding with the analysis using only the variables AD, SD, Q90, Q95, and Q7,10. The results were obtained using the Fuzzy C-Means for the chosen variables, and the smallest objective function was found for 4 Clusters in the study group, with index of and fuzzification (m) 1.7. Separating the fluviometric stations by clusters through degrees of pertinence, the largest number of stations were obtained in Cluster 3 (83 stations), followed by Cluster 4 (13 stations) and Clusters 1 and 2 (7 stations in each cluster), and only 4 stations were not inserted in any cluster, being classified as nebulae, where the groups were determined practically by the distribution of the AD and SD variables. The smaller areas of coverage, analyzed flows and the smaller amount of drainage in the coverage area of the stations were found in Cluster 3, considering they were well spread in the state of Paraná. Clusters 1 and 4 were intermediate among the other clusters in all parameters evaluated. The Fuzzy C-Means algorithm proved to be efficient for the grouping of fluviometric stations in the state of Paraná, where it was possible to find the characteristics of each cluster formed, without overlapping of data in the analyzed variables.
O delineamento de regiões hidrologicamente homogêneas (RHH) é um procedimento essencial para provimento de informações indispensáveis aos trabalhos de modelagem, planejamento e gestão de recursos hídricos, principalmente quando se tem a necessidade de realizar a regionalização de vazões, visando estimar a disponibilidade hídrica em seções desprovidas de medições. A definição de estratégias de manejo e conservação dos recursos naturais depende de informações obtidas por meio da identificação de RHH, sendo também um dos passos de um estudo de regionalização de vazões. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo a identificação das RHH no estado do Paraná através do método de agrupamento Fuzzy C-Means. Foram utilizadas 9 variáveis, individualizadas para as 114 estações fluviométricas adotadas, sendo 4 variáveis dependentes referentes às vazões características (vazão média anual de longa duração (Qmld), vazão mínima anual com sete dias de duração e período de retorno de 10 anos (Q7,10), vazões associadas às permanências de 95% (Q95) e 90% (Q90)) e 5 independentes referentes às características morfometrias da estação (área de drenagem (AD – m²), soma das drenagens (SD - m), densidade de drenagem (DD – 1/m) e a localização geográfica (latitude - Lat e longitude - Long). A partir da análise de componentes principais (ACP) identificou-se as variáveis Qmld, DD, Lat e Long como as menos representativas, sendo excluídas do estudo, dando procedência à análise de agrupamentos apenas com as variáveis AD, SD, Q90, Q95 e Q7,10. Aplicou-se o Fuzzy C-Means para as variáveis escolhidas, sendo que a menor função objetiva encontrada foi para 4 Clusters no índice de fuzzificação (m) 1,7. Separando as estações fluviométricas por clusters através dos graus de pertinência, obtivemos o maior número de estações no Cluster 3 (83 estações), seguidos do Cluster 4 (13 estações) e dos Clusters 1 e 2 (7 estações em cada cluster), e apenas 4 estações não foram inseridas em nenhum cluster, sendo classificadas como nebulosas, sendo que os grupos foram determinados praticamente pela distribuição das variáveis AD e SD. As menores áreas de abrangência, vazões analisadas e as menores quantidade de drenagens na área de cobertura das estações foram encontras no Cluster 3, que estão bem espalhadas no estado do Paraná. Já os Clusters 1 e 4 ficaram intermediários entre os demais clusters em todos os parâmetros avaliados. O algoritmo Fuzzy C-Means se mostrou eficiente para o agrupamento das estações fluviométricas no estado do Paraná, onde foi possível encontrar as características de cada cluster formado, sem haver sobreposição de dados nos intervalos das variáveis analisadas.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation focuses on employing the Reformulation-Linearization Technique (RLT) to enhance model formulations and to design effective solution techniques for solving several practical instances of continuous nonconvex optimization problems, namely, the hard and fuzzy clustering problems, risk management problems, and problems arising in control systems.
Under the umbrella of the broad RLT framework, the contributions of this dissertation focus on developing models and algorithms along with related theoretical and computational results pertaining to three specific application domains. In the basic construct, through appropriate surrogation schemes and variable substitution strategies, we derive strong polyhedral approximations for the polynomial functional terms in the problem, and then rely on the demonstrated (robust) ability of the RLT for determining global optimal solutions for polynomial programming problems. The convergence of the proposed branch-and-bound algorithm follows from the tailored branching strategy coupled with consistency and exhaustive properties of the enumeration tree. First, we prescribe an RLT-based framework geared towards solving the hard and fuzzy clustering problems. In the second endeavor, we examine two risk management problems, providing novel models and algorithms. Finally, in the third part, we provide a detailed discussion on studying stability margins for control systems using polynomial programming models along with specialized solution techniques.

Повний текст джерелаStructural genomics is a field of study that strives to derive and analyze the structural characteristics of proteins through means of experimentation and prediction using software and other automatic processes. Alongside implications for more effective drug design, the main motivation for structural genomics concerns the elucidation of each protein’s function, given that the structure of a protein almost completely governs its function. Historically, the approach to derive the structure of a protein has been through exceedingly expensive, complex, and time consuming methods such as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
In response to the inadequacies of these methods, three families of approaches developed in a relatively new branch of computer science known as bioinformatics. The aforementioned families include threading, homology-modeling, and the de novo approach. However, even these methods fail either due to impracticalities, the inability to produce novel folds, rampant complexity, inherent limitations, etc. In their stead, this work proposes the Fuzzy Greedy K-means Decision Forest model, which utilizes sequence motifs that transcend protein family boundaries to predict local tertiary structure, such that the method is cheap, effective, and can produce semi-novel folds due to its local (rather than global) prediction mechanism. This work further extends the FGK-DF model with a new algorithm, the Hierarchically Clustered-Hidden Markov Models (HC-HMM) method to extract protein primary sequence motifs in a more accurate and adequate manner than currently exhibited by the FGK-DF model, allowing for more accurate and powerful local tertiary structure predictions. Both algorithms are critically examined, their methodology thoroughly explained and tested against a consistent data set, the results thereof discussed at length.

O presente trabalho objetiva demonstrarum controle centralizado para eleger Cluster Heads (CHs) mais adequados, admitindo trêsníveis de heterogeneidade e uma comunicação de múltiplos saltos entre Cluster Heads. O controle centralizado utiliza o algoritmo k-means, responsável pela divisão dos clusters e Lógica Fuzzy para eleição do Cluster Head e seleção da melhor rota de comunicação entre os eleitos.Os resultados indicam que a proposta apresentada oferece grandes vantagens comparado aos algoritmos anteriores de eleição, permitindo selecionar os nós mais adequados para líderes do grupo a cada round com base nos valores do Sistema Fuzzy, como também, a utilização da Lógica Fuzzy como ferramenta de decisão para implementação de múltiplos saltos entre CHs, uma vez que minimiza a dissipação de energia dos CHs selecionados mais afastados do ponto de coleta. A inserção de três níveis de heterogeneidade, correspondente aos sensores normais, avançados e super sensores, contribui consideravelmente para o aumento do período de estabilidade da rede. Outra grande contribuição obtida a partir dos resultados é a utilização de um controle central na estação base (EB) apresentando vantagens sobre o processamento local de informações em cada nó, processo este encontrado nos algoritmos tradicionais para eleição de CHs.A solução proposta comprovou que a eleição do CH mais eficiente, considerando sua localização e discrepâncias de níveis de energia, como também, na inclusão de novos níveis de heterogeneidade, permite aumentar o período de estabilidade da rede, ou seja, o período que a rede é totalmente funcional, aumentando consideravelmente o tempo de vida útil em Redes de Sensores Sem Fio (RSSF)heterogêneas.
This study presents a centralized control to elect appropriate Cluster Heads (CHs), assuming three levels of heterogeneity and multi-hop communication between Cluster Heads. The centralized control uses the k-means algorithm, responsible for the division of clusters and Fuzzy Logic to elect the Cluster Head and selecting the best route of communication between elected. The results indicate that the proposal offers great advantages, allowing us to select the most suitable nodes for group leaders at each round based on the Fuzzy System values, and also the use of Fuzzy Logic as a decision tool to implement multiple hops between CHs, since it minimizes the power dissipation of the selected CHs more distant from the collection point. The insertion of three levels of heterogeneity,corresponding to normal, advanced and super sensors, contributes considerably to increasing the period of network stability. Another great contribution obtained from the is the use of a central control in base station (BS) with advantages over local information processing in each node, a process usually found in traditional algorithms for electing CHs. The proposed solution proved that the election of the more efficient CH, considering its location and energy levels discrepancies, and also, the inclusion of new heterogeneity levels, allows to increase the networkstability period, ie, the period that the network is fully functional, greatly increasing the useful lifetime in heterogeneous WSN.

Data clustering is applied to various fields such as data mining, image processing and pattern recognition technique. Clustering algorithms splits a data set into clusters such that elements within the same cluster have a high degree of similarity, while elements belonging to different clusters have a high degree of dissimilarity. The Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm (FCM) is a fuzzy clustering algorithm most used and discussed in the literature. The performance of the FCM is strongly affected by the selection of the initial centers of the clusters. Therefore, the choice of a good set of initial cluster centers is very important for the performance of the algorithm. However, in FCM, the choice of initial centers is made randomly, making it difficult to find a good set. This paper proposes three new methods to obtain initial cluster centers, deterministically, the FCM algorithm, and can also be used in variants of the FCM. In this work these initialization methods were applied in variant ckMeans.With the proposed methods, we intend to obtain a set of initial centers which are close to the real cluster centers. With these new approaches startup if you want to reduce the number of iterations to converge these algorithms and processing time without affecting the quality of the cluster or even improve the quality in some cases. Accordingly, cluster validation indices were used to measure the quality of the clusters obtained by the modified FCM and ckMeans algorithms with the proposed initialization methods when applied to various data sets
Agrupamento de dados ? uma t?cnica aplicada a diversas ?reas como minera??o de dados, processamento de imagens e reconhecimento de padr?es. Algoritmos de agrupamento particionam um conjunto de dados em grupos, de tal forma, que elementos dentro de um mesmo grupo tenham alto grau de similaridade, enquanto elementos pertencentes a diferentes grupos tenham alto grau de dissimilaridade. O algoritmo Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) ? um dos algoritmos de agrupamento fuzzy de dados mais utilizados e discutidos na literatura. O desempenho do FCM ? fortemente afetado pela sele??o dos centros iniciais dos grupos. Portanto, a escolha de um bom conjunto de centros iniciais ? muito importante para o desempenho do algoritmo. No entanto, no FCM, a escolha dos centros iniciais ? feita de forma aleat?ria, tornando dif?cil encontrar um bom conjunto. Este trabalho prop?e tr?s novos m?todos para obter os centros iniciais dos grupos, de forma determin?stica, no algoritmo FCM, e que podem tamb?m ser usados em variantes do FCM. Neste trabalho esses m?todos de inicializa??o foram aplicados na variante ckMeans. Com os m?todos propostos, pretende-se obter um conjunto de centros iniciais que esteja pr?ximo dos centros reais dos grupos. Com estas novas abordagens de inicializa??o deseja-se reduzir o n?mero de itera??es para estes algoritmos convergirem e o tempo de processamento, sem afetar a qualidade do agrupamento ou at? melhorar a qualidade em alguns casos. Neste sentido, foram utilizados ?ndices de valida??o de agrupamento para medir a qualidade dos agrupamentos obtidos pelos algoritmos FCM e ckMeans, modificados com os m?todos de inicializa??o propostos, quando aplicados a diversas bases de dados

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis proposes a framework for generalizing and automating the design of the defect classification stage of an automated visual inspection system. It involves using an expandable set of features which are optimized along with the classifier operating on them in order to adapt to the application at hand. The particular implementation explored involves optimizing the feature set in disjoint sets logically grouped by feature type to keep search spaces reasonable. Operator input is kept at a minimum throughout this customization process, since it is limited only to those cases in which the existing feature library cannot adequately delineate the classes at hand, at which time new features (or pools) may have to be introduced by an engineer with experience in the domain.
Two novel methods are put forward which fit well within this framework: cluster-space and hybrid-space classifiers. They are compared in a series of tests against both standard benchmark classifiers, as well as mean and majority vote multi-classifiers, on feature sets comprised of just the logical feature subsets, as well as the entire feature sets formed by their union. The proposed classifiers as well as the benchmarks are optimized with both a progressive combinatorial approach and with an genetic algorithm. Experimentation was performed on true colour industrial lumber defect images, as well as binary hand-written digits.
Based on the experiments conducted in this work, it was found that the sequentially optimized multi hybrid-space methods are capable of matching the performances of the benchmark classifiers on the lumber data, with the exception of the mean-rule multi-classifiers, which dominated most experiments by approximately 3% in classification accuracy. The genetic algorithm optimized hybrid-space multi-classifier achieved best performance however; an accuracy of 79. 2%.
The numeral dataset results were less promising; the proposed methods could not equal benchmark performance. This is probably because the numeral feature-sets were much more conducive to good class separation, with standard benchmark accuracies approaching 95% not uncommon. This indicates that the cluster-space transform inherent to the proposed methods appear to be most useful in highly dependant or confusing feature-spaces, a hypothesis supported by the outstanding performance of the single hybrid-space classifier in the difficult texture feature subspace: 42. 6% accuracy, a 6% increase over the best benchmark performance.
The generalized framework proposed appears promising, because classifier performance over feature sets formed by the union of independently optimized feature subsets regularly met and exceeded those classifiers operating on feature sets formed by the optimization of the feature set in its entirety. This finding corroborates earlier work with similar results [3, 9], and is an aspect of pattern recognition that should be examined further.

Повний текст джерелаDer Energieverbrauch ist ein Hauptanliegen in drahtlosen Sensornetzwerken (WSNs), was zu einer starken Nachfrage nach energiebewussten Kommunikationstechnologien führt. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden mehrere ungleiche clusterbasierte Routing-Protokolle vorgeschlagen. Allerdings verwenden nur die wenigsten energetische Analysemodelle für die Berechnung des optimalen Cluster-Radius, und mehrere Protokolle können keine optimale Auslastungsbalance zwischen Sensorknoten realisieren. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es das Ziel der Dissertation, ein clusterbasiertes Routing-Protokoll zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz im WSN zu entwickeln. Wir schlagen einen Fuzzy-basierten Energy-Aware Unequal Clustering-Algorithmus (FEAUC) mit zirkulärer Partitionierung vor, um den Energieverbrauch zwischen Sensorknoten auszugleichen und das durch eine Multi-Hop-Kommunikation entstehende Hotspot-Problem zu lösen. Der entwickelte FEAUC umfasst hauptsächlich vier Phasen: Eine Offline-Phase, eine Clusterbildungsphase, eine Kooperationsphase und eine Phase der Datensammlung. Während der Offline-Phase wird eine Energieanalyse durchgeführt, um den Radius jedes Ringes und den optimalen Cluster- Radius pro Ring zu berechnen. Die Clusterbildungsphase basiert auf einem Fuzzy-Logik-Ansatz für die Clusterkopf (CH)-Auswahl. Die Kooperationsphase zielt darauf ab, einen Zwischenknoten als einen Router zwischen verschiedenen CHs zu definieren. In der Datensammelphase wird die Übertragung von Datenpaketen von Sensorknoten zu ihren entsprechenden CHs als eine Intra-Cluster-Kommunikation definiert, während die Übertragung von Daten von einem CH zu einem anderen CH bis zum Erreichen der Basisstation als eine Inter-Cluster-Kommunikation definiert wird. Die Machbarkeit des entwickelten FEAUC wird durch die Ausarbeitung eines Vergleichs mit ausgewählten referenzierten ungleichen Clustering-Algorithmen unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Parameter demonstriert, hauptsächlich des Energieverbrauchs, der Batterielebensdauer, der Zeit bis zum Abschalten des ersten Knotens (FND), der Zeit, in der die Hälfte der Knoten offline ist (HND) und der Zeit bis zum letzten Knoten stirbt (LND). Obwohl mit dem entwickelten FEAUC die Lebensdauer des Netzwerks erhöht warden soll, indem die große Last der CH-Aufgaben gleichmäßig auf die übrigen Knoten verteilt wird, stellt die Durchführung des Clustering-Prozesses in jeder Runde eine zusätzliche Belastung dar, die die verbleibende Energie erheblich entziehen kann. Aus diesem Grund wurde das auf FEAUC basierende Protokoll zu einem fehlerto-leranten Algorithmus (FEAUC-FT) weiterentwickelt. Er unterstützt die Fehlerto-leranz durch die Verwendung von Backup-CHs zur Vermeidung des Re-Clustering-Prozesses in bestimmten Runden oder durch den Aufbau weiterer Routing-Pfade im Falle eines Verbindungsausfalls zwischen verschiedenen CHs. Die Validierung des entwickelten FEAUC in realen Szenarien ist durchgeführt worden. Einige Sensorknoten, die mit Batterien betrieben werden, sind in einem kreisförmigen Bereich angeordnet und bilden Cluster. Leistungsbewertungen warden anhand realistischer Szenarien durchgeführt und für einen realen Einsatz unter Verwendung des drahtlosen Low-Power-Sensorknoten panStamp getestet. Zur Vervollständigung früherer Arbeiten wird als Schritt des Proof-of-Concept ein intelligentes Bewässerungssystem mit der Bezeichnung Air-IoT entworfen. Darüber hinaus wird eine IoT-basierte Echtzeit-Sensorknotenarchitektur zur Kontrolle derWassermenge in einigen eingesetzten Knoten eingeführt. Zu diesem Zweck wird ein mit der Cloud verbundenes drahtloses Netzwerk zur Überwachung der Bodenfeuchtigkeit und -temperatur gut konzipiert. Im Allgemeinen ist dieser Schritt unerlässlich, um den vorgeschlagenen ungleichen clusterbasierten Routing-Algorithmus in einem realen Demonstrator zu validieren und zu bewerten.Der vorgeschlagene Prototyp garantiert sowohl Echtzeit-Überwachung als auch zuverlässige und kostengünstige Übertragung zwischen jedem Knoten und der Basisstation.:1 Introduction 2 Theoretical background 3 State of the art of unequal cluster-based routing protocols 4 FEAUC: Fuzzy-based Energy-Aware Unequal Clustering 5 Experimental validation of the developed unequal clustering protocol 6 Real application to specific uses cases 7 Conclusions and future research directions

O avanço nas áreas de comunicação sem fio e microeletrônica permite o desenvolvimento de equipamentos micro sensores com capacidade de monitorar grandes regiões. Formadas por milhares de nós sensores, trabalhando de forma colaborativa, as Redes de Sensores sem Fio apresentam severas restrições de energia, devido à capacidade limitada das baterias dos nós que compõem a rede. O consumo de energia pode ser minimizado, permitindo que apenas alguns nós especiais, chamados de Cluster Head, sejam responsáveis por receber os dados dos nós que formam seu cluster e propagar estes dados para um ponto de coleta denominado Estação Base. A escolha do Cluster Head ideal influencia no aumento do período de estabilidade da rede, maximizando seu tempo de vida útil. A proposta, apresentada nesta dissertação, utiliza Lógica Fuzzy e algoritmo k-means com base em informações centralizadas na Estação Base para eleição do Cluster Head ideal em Redes de Sensores sem Fio heterogêneas. Os critérios usados para seleção do Cluster Head são baseados na centralidade do nó, nível de energia e proximidade para a Estação Base. Esta dissertação apresenta as desvantagens de utilização de informações locais para eleição do líder do cluster e a importância do tratamento discriminatório sobre as discrepâncias energéticas dos nós que formam a rede. Esta proposta é comparada com os algoritmos Low Energy Adaptative Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) e Distributed energy-efficient clustering algorithm for heterogeneous Wireless sensor networks (DEEC). Esta comparação é feita, utilizando o final do período de estabilidade, como também, o tempo de vida útil da rede.
The increase in wireless communication and microelectronic devices enables the development of micro sensors with monitoring capable for large areas. Consisting of thousands of sensor nodes, working collaboratively, the Wireless sensor networks have severe energy constraints, due to the limited capacity of batteries of the nodes that compose the network. The power consumption can be minimized by allowing only a few special nodes, called Cluster Head, are responsible for receiving data from its cluster nodes that form and propagate this data to a collection point called Base Station. The choice of optimum cluster head influence on increasing the period of stability of the network, maximizing their useful life. The proposal, presented in this thesis, uses Fuzzy Logic and k-means algorithm based on centralized information on Base Station for election of ideal Cluster Head for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensors Networks. The criteria used to select the ideal Cluster Head are based on the node centrality, energy level and proximity to the Base Station. This dissertation presents the disadvantages when the local information are used to the cluster leader election and the importance of discriminatory treatment on the energy discrepancies in the network. This proposal is compared with the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and Distributed energy-efficient clustering (DEEC) algorithms. This comparison is evaluated using the end of the stability period and the lifetime of the network.

Clustering usually treats objects as belonging to mutually exclusive clusters, what is usually im-precise, because an object may belong to more than one cluster simultaneously with different membership degrees. The clustering algorithms, both crisp and fuzzy, have a number of parameters to be adjusted so that they present the best performance for a given database. Furthermore, it is known that no single algorithm is better than all the others for all problem classes, and the combi-nation of solutions found by various algorithms (or the same algorithm with different parameters) may lead to a global solution that is better than those found by individual algorithms, including the best one. It is within this context that the present thesis proposes a new fuzzy clustering algo-rithm inspired by the behavior of particle swarms and, then, introduces a new form of combining the clustering algorithms using concepts from Type-2 fuzzy sets.
Da maneira tradicional o agrupamento trata os objetos que compõem a base como pertencentes a grupos mutuamente exclusivos, o que nem sempre é verdade, pois um objeto pode pertencer a mais de um grupo com diferentes graus de pertinência. Os algoritmos de agrupamento, sejam eles convencionais ou nebulosos (capazes de tratar múltiplas pertinências simultaneamente), possuem diversos parâmetros a serem ajustados de tal forma que ofereçam o melhor desempenho para uma base de dados. Além disso, é sabido que nenhum algoritmo é superior a todos os outros para todas as classes de problemas e que combinar soluções fornecidas por diferentes algoritmos pode levar a uma solução global superior a todas as soluções individuais, inclusive à melhor. É nesse contexto que a presente tese propõe um novo algoritmo de agrupamento nebuloso de dados inspirado no comportamento de enxames de partículas e, em seguida, propõe uma nova forma de realizar combinações (ensembles) de algoritmos de agrupamento usando conceitos da teoria de conjuntos nebulosos do Tipo-2.

Повний текст джерелаThe basic concept of impedance-based structure health monitoring is measuring the variation of the electromechanical impedance of the structure as caused by the presence of damage by using patches of piezoelectric material bonded on the surface of the structure (or embedded into). The measured electrical impedance of the PZT patch is directly related to the mechanical impedance of the structure. That is why the presence of damage can be detected by monitoring the variation of the impedance signal. In order to quantify damage, a metric is specially defined, which allows to assign a characteristic scalar value to the fault. This study initially evaluates the influence of environmental conditions in the impedance measurement, such as temperature, magnetic fields and ionic environment. The results show that the magnetic field does not influence the impedance measurement and that the ionic environment influences the results. However, when the sensor is shielded, the effect of the ionic environment is significantly reduced. The influence of the sensor geometry has also been studied. It has been established that the shape of the PZT patch (rectangular or circular) has no influence on the impedance measurement. However, the position of the sensor is an important issue to correctly detect damage. This work presents the development of a low-cost portable system for impedance measuring to automatically measure and store data from 16 PZT patches, without human intervention. One fundamental aspect in the context of this work is to characterize the damage type from the various impedance signals collected. In this sense, the techniques of artificial intelligence known as neural networks and fuzzy cluster analysis were tested for classifying damage of aircraft structures, obtaining satisfactory results. One last contribution of the present work is the study of the performance of the electromechanical impedance-based structural health monitoring technique to detect damage in structures under dynamic loading. Encouraging results were obtained for this aim.
O conceito básico da técnica de integridade estrutural baseada na impedância tem a ver com o monitoramento da variação da impedância eletromecânica da estrutura, causada pela presença alterações estruturais, através de pastilhas de material piezelétrico coladas na superfície da estrutura ou nela incorporadas. A impedância medida se relaciona com a impedância mecânica da estrutura. A partir da variação dos sinais de impedância pode-se concluir pela existência ou não de uma falha. Para quantificar esta falha, métricas de dano são especialmente definidas, permitindo atribuir-lhe um valor escalar característico. Este trabalho pretende inicialmente avaliar a influência de algumas condições ambientais, tais como os campos magnéticos e os meios iônicos na medição de impedância. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os campos magnéticos não tem influência na medição de impedância e que os meios iônicos influenciam os resultados; entretanto, ao blindar o sensor, este efeito se reduz consideravelmente. Também foi estudada a influencia da geometria, ou seja, do formato do PZT e da posição do sensor com respeito ao dano. Verificou-se que o formato do PZT não tem nenhuma influência na medição e que a posição do sensor é importante para detectar corretamente o dano. Neste trabalho se apresenta o desenvolvimento de um sistema de medição de impedância de baixo custo e portátil que tem a capacidade de medir e armazenar a medição de 16 PZTs sem a necessidade de intervenção humana. Um aspecto de fundamental importância no contexto deste trabalho é a caracterização do dano a partir dos sinais de impedância coletados. Neste sentido, as técnicas de inteligência artificial conhecidas como redes neurais e análises de cluster fuzzy, foram testadas para classificar danos em estruturas aeronáuticas, obtendo resultados satisfatórios para esta tarefa. Uma última contribuição deste trabalho é o estudo do comportamento da técnica de monitoramento de integridade estrutural baseado na impedância eletromecânica na detecção de danos em estruturas submetidas a carregamento dinâmico. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a técnica funciona adequadamente nestes casos.

Lately, most studies have relied on statistic clustering techniques to analyze web user profile data in web mining. However, this approach can only sort each user session into a single cluster. That is, it ignores a user session may contain several browsing prefers. According to this insufficiency, fuzzy clustering techniques were proposed instead. But those methods only can use similarity score of session to calculate the similarity between pages. Therefore, if users browse the same web page by different paths, that causes wrong results. This research proposes a framework which combines the fuzzy clustering and association rules. This approach filters out the noisy data, and employs association rules to calculate the confidence of the rule as the association between different URL addresses. Finally, an improved fuzzy clustering is adopted, which replaces the similarity score of session with the confidence between pages, to found out the user prefers effectively.

This paper presents a novel low-cost and high-performance VLSI architecture for fuzzy c-means clustering. In the architecture, the operations at both the centroid and data levels are pipelined to attain high computational speed while consuming low hardware resources. In addition, the usual iterative operations for updating the membership matrix and cluster centroid are merged into one single updating process to evade the large storage requirement. Experimental results show that the proposed solution is an effective alternative for cluster analysis with low computational cost and high performance.

In air-conditioned room, the main factors that affect the human comfort are air velocity and temperature. To describe the relation among these state variables all over the air-conditioned room, the TS fuzzy models of real system are built by using data clustering algorithms. To increase the accuracy of models, the number and center of clusters are automatically and quickly adjusted according to certain criteria we proposed. That is, a fast and rough clustering is first performed by K-means algorithm. Then a clusters split/merge algorithm is applied which can automatically find suitable cluster centers for fuzzy clustering with Fuzzy c-means algorithm. Also, to demonstrate the feasibility of the clusters split/merge algorithm, the built fuzzy model of air-conditioned room is applied in various control approaches.

Data clustering techniques are used in many fields such as pattern recognition, image segmentation, statistical data analysis, data mining, big data. The process of dividing data or objects into different classes or groups according to certain criteria is called data clustering. In this thesis, we conduct a survey on fuzzy clustering methods specifically for partitioning clusters with different geometric shapes and investigate their respective performance on partitioning datasets comprising clusters with various geometric shapes. Generally speaking, two-dimensional shapes are recognized and described by the human much more easily. Thus, all experimental datasets including those used in the literature are made based on two-dimensional features of Cartesian coordinates. Experimental results show that, by modifying the update procedure of fuzzy partition matrix or distance definition of objective function of the fuzzy C means clustering method, the fuzzy C means variants can partition datasets into clusters with different geometric shapes quite accurately.

With the increasing popularity of Internet of Things, big data analysis becomes an important topic. By using multi-sensors devices, we can easily gather real life data and mine important information from them. These datasets are mostly high-dimensional data, and most of them are unlabeled. Therefore, reducing high dimensional data by using feature selection to choose important feature sets becomes an important topic in machine learning, especially in unsupervised learning. There are many kinds of clustering algorithms, such as k-means, hierarchical clustering, mean shift clustering, etc. Although we can get comparatively better result, we are still interested in “Which feature contributes to the result of clustering?” and “What is the correct number of clusters?” . In this paper, we propose a clustering algorithm not only finds significant and important features, but also proper number of clusters with clustering rules which human can easily interpret. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can perform well in the real-environment wine dataset.

Повний текст джерелаPeople use web search engines to fill a wide variety of navigational, informational and transactional needs. However, current major search engines on the web retrieve a large number of documents of which only a small fraction are relevant to the user query. The user then has to manually search for relevant documents by traversing a topic hierarchy, into which a collection is categorised. As more information becomes available, it becomes a time consuming task to search for required relevant information.
This research develops an effective tool, the web document clustering (WDC) system, to cluster, and then rank, the output data obtained from queries submitted to a search engine, into three pre-defined fuzzy clusters. Namely closely related, related and not related. Documents in closely related and related documents are ranked based on their context.
The WDC output has been compared against document clustering results from the Google, Vivisimo and Dogpile systems as these where considered the best at the fourth Search Engine Awards [24]. Test data was from standard document sets, such as the TREC-8 [118] data files and the Iris database [38], or 3 from test text retrieval tasks, "Latex", "Genetic Algorithms" and "Evolutionary Algorithms". Our proposed system had as good as, or better results, than that obtained by these other systems. We have shown that the proposed system can effectively and efficiently locate closely related, related and not related, documents among the retrieved document set for queries submitted to a search engine.
We developed a methodology to supply the user with a list of keywords filtered from the initial search result set to further refine the search. Again we tested our clustering results against the Google, Vivisimo and Dogpile systems. In all cases we have found that our WDC performs as well as, or better than these systems.
The contributions of this research are:
- A post-retrieval fuzzy document clustering algorithm that groups documents into closely related, related and not related clusters. This algorithm uses modified fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm to cluter documents into predefined intelligent fuzzy clusters and this approach has not been used before.
- The fuzzy WDC system satisfies the user's information need as far as possible by allowing the user to reformulate the initial query. The system prepares an initial word list by selecting a few characteristics terms of high frequency from the first twenty documents in the initial search engine output. The user is then able to use these terms to input a secondary query. The WDC system then creates a second word list, or the context of the user query (COQ), from the closely related documents to provide training data to refine the search. Documents containing words with high frequency from the training list, based on a pre-defined threshold value, are then presented to the user to refine the search by reformulating the query. In this way the context of the user query is built, enabling the user to learn from the keyword list. This approach is not available in current search engine technology.
- A number of modifications were made to the FCM algorithm to improve its performance in web document clustering. A factor swkq is introduced into the membership function as a measure of the amount of overlaping between the components of the feature vector and the cluster prototype. As the FCM algorithm is greatly affected by the values used to initialise the components of cluster prototypes a machine learning approach, using an Evolutionary Algorithm, was used to resolve the initialisation problem.
- Experimental results indicate that the WDC system outperformed Google, Dogpile and the Vivisimo search engines. The post-retrieval fuzzy web document clustering algorithm designed in this research improves the precision of web searches and it also contributes to the knowledge of document retrieval using fuzzy logic.
- A relational data model was used to automatically store data output from the search engine off-line. This takes the processing of data of the Internet off-line, saving resources and making better use of the local CPU.
- This algorithm uses Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) to rank documents in the closely related and related clusters. Using LSI to rank document is wellknown, however, we are the first to apply it in the context of ranking closely related documents by using COQ to form the term x document matrix in LSI, to obtain better ranking results.
- Adjustments based on document size are proposed for dealing with problems associated with varying document size in the retrieved documents and the effect this has on cluster analysis.

Advances in information and network technologies have fostered the creation and availability of a vast amount of online information, typically in the form of text documents. Information retrieval (IR) pertains to determining the relevance between a user query and documents in the target collection, then returning those documents that are likely to satisfy the user’s information needs. One challenging issue in IR is word mismatch, which occurs when concepts can be described by different words in the user queries and/or documents. Query expansion is a promising approach for dealing with word mismatch in IR. In this thesis, we develop a fuzzy cluster-based query expansion technique to solve the word mismatch problem. Using existing expansion techniques (i.e., global analysis and non-fuzzy cluster-based query expansion) as performance benchmarks, our empirical results suggest that the fuzzy cluster-based query expansion technique can provide a more accurate query result than the benchmark techniques can.

Fuzzy clustering is generally extended from hard clustering based on fuzzy membership partitions. In fuzzy clustering, the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is the most well-known clustering method. Up to now, there are various generalizations of FCM. However, the FCM algorithm and its generalizations are always affected by initializations. In this paper, we consider a cluster-weighted term with an updating equation to adjust the effects of initializations to fuzzy clustering algorithms. We first propose the so-called cluster-weighted fuzzy clustering of the generalized FCM (GFCM). We then construct the cluster-weighted FCM, cluster-weighted Gustafson and Kessel (GK) and cluster-weighted inter-cluster separation (ICS) algorithms. Some numerical examples are used to compare our cluster-weighted fuzzy clustering with the fuzzy clustering algorithms. We also apply the cluster-weighted fuzzy clustering algorithms to real data sets. The results demonstrate the superiority and usefulness of our proposed cluster-weighted fuzzy clustering methods.

ABSTRACT Before dealing with the data set , we can partition a data set into any specified number of cluster by fuzzy c mean (FCM) algorithm in which the data points assigned to the same cluster are more similar to each other than data points belonging to different clusters . When we use the FCM algorithm , we need to presume the number of cluster first in the algorithm . However , c is usually unknown .Thus the estimation of c becomes the important problem . This problem is called cluster validity . A cluster validity index is used as a measure of reliability reliability when the optimal number of clusters indicated by a validity index equal to the true number of clusters of a data set . Many cluster validity indexes such as partition coefficient (PC) , partition entropy (PE) , etc. have been proposed. In this paper , we propose a new cluster validity index called WB index which combines membership degrees and geometrical properties of data . Then we compare the numerical result of this new index with a number of known cluster validity indexes . The obtained results indicate that the proposed WB index provides better rules than the other cluster validity index . Keyword : fuzzy clustering , fuzzy c mean (FCM) algorithm , cluster validity , validity index ,

Since Von Mises (1918): introduced a distribution on dire -ctional data and the Great statistician R.A. Fisher (1953) proposed an important result "Dispersion on a sphere", the statistical methods about directional data have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive area.Mardia's book (1972) "Statistic of Directional Data" adn N.I. Fisher's book (1993) "Statistical Analysis of Circular Date" gave a good survey and also described its applications. Mixtures of didtributions were always used as models in a wide variety of important practical situations. These also have applications to clustering. Mixtures of Von Mises distributions are importatn models of directional data. Spurr & Koutbeiy (1991) gave a good comparison of various methods for estimating the parameters in mixtures of Von Mises distributions. In this project, we plan to apply fuzzy classification maximum likelihood procedures propused by Yany (1993)to derive some fuzzy clustering algorithms of directional data. Based on new derived algorithms, we deal with the parameter estimation of mixtures of Von Mises distributions. According to some prelimiary studies, we get some good results. Therefore, we plan to study the following subjects in this project: 1. Derive fuzzy clustering algorithms for directional data. 2. Construct methods about the parameter estimation of mixtures of Von Mises distributions and make a comparison with other estimation methods. 3. Investigate fuzzy cluster-wise regression analysis on directional data.

Since Tanaka et al. proposed a study in linear regression analysis with fuzzy model, fuzzy regression analysis has been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. We know that the regression analysis in the case of heterogeneity of observations are commonly presented in practice. In this paper, the main goal is to apply fuzzy clustering techniques to fuzzy regression analysis. The fuzzy clustering is used to overcome the heterogeneous problem in fuzzy regression model. We combine both together and call it the cluster-wise fuzzy regression analysis.
