Abstract | This paper proposes a fuzzy clustering algorithm through neutrosophic association matrix. In the first step, data are fuzzified into neutrosophic sets to create neutrosophic association matrix. By deriving a finite sequence of neutrosophic association matrices, the neutrosophic equivalence matrix is generated. Finally, the lambda-cutting is performed over the neutrosophic equivalence matrix to derive the final lambda-cutting matrix which is used to determine the clusters. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets using different clustering criteria show the advantage of the proposed clustering over the existing algorithms. |
