ECM: An evidential version of the fuzzy c-means algorithm
Type de document : Article
Résumé(s) :
- A new clustering method for object data, called ECM (evidential c-means) is introduced, in the theoretical framework of belief functions. It is based on the concept of credal partition, extending those of hard, fuzzy, and possibilistic ones. To derive such a structure, a suitable objective function is minimized using an FCM-like algorithm. A validity index allowing the determination of the proper number of clusters is also proposed. Experiments with synthetic and real data sets show that the proposed algorithm can be considered as a promising tool in the field of exploratory statistics.
