特征加权的阴影C均值聚类新算法(英文)

将特征加权的划分聚类方法应用在阴影集的框架中阴影聚类产生的核心区和边界区的样本对每一个类的质心有不同的影响。通过集成特征权重,加权计算的公式引入到聚类算法中。权重指数的选择对于好的聚类结果非常关键,而且权重随着每次迭代划分而更新。文中给出了算法的收敛性,并且使用了可行的聚类有效性指标。在合成数据集和真实数值数据集上的不同特征权重的实验结果表明,该加权算法优于其他不加权算法。

NEW SHADOWED C-MEANS CLUSTERING WITH FEATURE WEIGHTS

Partition-based clustering with weighted feature is developed in the framework of shadowed sets. The objects in the core and boundary regions, generated by shadowed sets-based clustering, have different impact on the prototype of each cluster. By integrating feature weights, a formula for weight calculation is introduced to the clustering algorithm. The selection of weight exponent is crucial for good result and the weights are updated iteratively with each partition of clusters. The convergence of the weighted algorithms is given, and the feasible cluster validity indices of data mining application are utilized. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-life numerical data with different feature weights demonstrate that the weighted algorithm is better than the other unweighted algorithms.
