Abstract

It has been observed that in the previous Genetic Algorithms (GA) based Fuzzy Clustering (FC) works only some of the parameters of an FC system are developed. Here, a new approach is proposed to develop directly the membership functions for the clusters using GA. This new technique is implemented and tested on common test data. A comparative study of the results against the quotations in literature reveals that the standard c-means FC technique is outperformed by the proposed technique in the count of misclassifications aspect.
