TLDR
In this paper, two fuzzy versions of the k-means optimal, least squared error partitioning problem are formulated for finite subsets X of a general inner product space, and the extremizing solutions are shown to be fixed points of a certain operator T on the class of fuzzy, k-partitions of X, and simple iteration of T provides an algorithm which has the descent property relative to the LSE criterion function.Abstract:
Two fuzzy versions of the k-means optimal, least squared error partitioning problem are formulated for finite subsets X of a general inner product space. In both cases, the extremizing solutions are shown to be fixed points of a certain operator T on the class of fuzzy, k-partitions of X, and simple iteration of T provides an algorithm which has the descent property relative to the least squared error criterion function. In the first case, the range of T consists largely of ordinary (i.e. non-fuzzy) partitions of X and the associated iteration scheme is essentially the well known ISODATA process of Ball and Hall. However, in the second case, the range of T consists mainly of fuzzy partitions and the associated algorithm is new; when X consists of k compact well separated (CWS) clusters, Xi , this algorithm generates a limiting partition with membership functions which closely approximate the characteristic functions of the clusters Xi . However, when X is not the union of k CWS clusters, the limi...read more

Fuzzy J-Means and VNS methods for clustering genes from microarray data
TL;DR: A local search heuristic, Fuzzy J-Means, embedded into the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic for the clustering of microarray gene expression data is presented and it is shown that for all the datasets studied this algorithm outperforms the standard FuzzY C-Mean heuristic.

TL;DR: A new method of representation of the reduced data, based on the idea of “fuzzy sets,” is proposed to avoid some of the problems of current clustering procedures and to provide better insight into the structure of the original data.

The application of computers to taxonomy.
TL;DR: A method is described for handling large quantities of taxonomic data by an electronic computer so as to yield the outline of a classification based on equally weighted features that enables Similarity to be expressed numerically, and would allow taxonomic rank to be measured in terms of it.
