Research on Fuzzy Clustering Validity

Article Preview

Abstract:

The evaluation of clustering validity is important for clustering analysis, and is one of the hottest spots of cluster analysis. The quality of the evaluation of clustering is that optimal number of clusters is reasonable. For fuzzy clustering, the paper surveys the widely known fuzzy clustering validity evaluation based on the methods of fuzzy partition, geometry structure and statistics.
