Fuzzy Clustering Method Based on Improved Weighted Distance

As an essential data processing technology, cluster analysis has been widely used in various fields. In clustering, it is necessary to select appropriate measures to evaluate the similarity in the data. In this paper, firstly, a cluster center selection method based on the grey relational degree is proposed to solve the problem of sensitivity in initial cluster center selection. Secondly, combining the advantages of Euclidean distance, DTW distance, and SPDTW distance, a weighted distance measurement based on three kinds of reach is proposed. Then, it is applied to Fuzzy C-MeDOIDS and Fuzzy C-means hybrid clustering technology. Numerical experiments are carried out with the UCI datasets. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the clustering results is significantly improved by using the clustering method proposed in this paper. Besides, the method proposed in this paper is applied to the MUSIC INTO EMOTIONS and YEAST datasets. The clustering results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can also achieve a better clustering effect when dealing with practical problems.
