Abstract
An extension of the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm based on an adaptive distance is presented. The proposed method furnishes a fuzzy partition and a prototype for each cluster by optimizing a criterion based on an adaptive L 2 distance that changes at each algorithm iteration. Experiments with real and synthetic data sets show the usefulness of this method.
