1. Introduction Clustering is a process of classifying the given data objects as exclusive subsets (clusters). It means we can discriminate clearly whether an object belongs to a cluster or not. In real applications there is very often no sharp boundary between clusters. So a fuzzy clustering method is used to construct clusters with uncertain boundaries and that will allows one object belongs to overlapping clusters with some membership degree. That is, the property of fuzzy clustering is to consider the belonging status to the clusters, along with the degrees to which that object belong to the cluster. 1.1 Hard clustering In hard clustering, each example is placed definitively in a class. The class is then used to predict the feature values of the example. Hard clustering methods are based on classical set theory, and require that an object either does or does not belong to a cluster. Hard clustering means partitioning the data into a specified number of mutually exclusive subsets. 1.2 Soft clustering Fuzzy clustering methods also knows as soft clustering, It allow the objects to belong to several clusters at the same time, with different degrees of membership. In many cases, fuzzy clustering is more natural than hard clustering. Objects on the boundaries between several classes are not forced to fully fit into one of the classes, but rather are assigned membership degrees between 0 and 1 indicating their partial membership. The discrete nature of the hard partitioning also causes difficulties with algorithms based on analytic functionals, since these functionals are not differentiable.

2. Techniques 2.1 Fuzzy C-Means In this algorithm we assign membership to each data point corresponding to each cluster center, on the basis of distance between the cluster center and the data point. More the data is near to the cluster center more is its membership towards the particular cluster center. Thus, summation of membership of all the data point should be equal to one. After each iterations membership and cluster centers are updated according to the formula:

where, 'n' is the number of data points. 'vj' represents the jth cluster enter. ‘m’ is the fuzziness index. 'm' is the fuzziness index m € [1,∞]. 'c' represents the number of cluster center. 'µij' represents the membership of ith data to jth cluster center. 'dij' represents the Euclidean distance between ithdata and jth cluster center. Main objective of fuzzy c-means algorithm is to minimize:

where, '||xi – vj||' is the Euclidean distance between ith data and jth cluster center.

2.1.1 Algorithm Let X = {x1, x2, x3 ..., xn} be the set of data points and V = {v1, v2, v3 ..., vc} be the set of centers. 1) Randomly select ‘c’ cluster centers. 2) Calculate the fuzzy membership 'µij' using:

3) Compute the fuzzy centers 'vj' using:

4) Repeat step 2) and 3) until the minimum 'J' value is achieved or ||U(k+1) - U(k)|| < β. where, ‘k’ is the iteration step. ‘β’ is the termination criterion between [0, 1]. ‘U = (µij)n*c’ is the fuzzy membership matrix. ‘J’ is the objective function.

2.1.3 Pseudo code // C is initial number of clusters, k is the iteration of fuzzy c-means, p is for the weight //Input initial number of clusters C, k, p ------------step 0: -------------//initialize weights of prototype for c = 0 to C-1 for q = 0 to Q-1 u[q,c] = random(); //standardize the initial weight over C

for q = 0 to Q-1 sum = 0.0; for c = 0 to C-1 sum = sum + u[q,c]; for c = 0 to C-1 u[q,c] = u[q,c] /sum; ***************************************** // starting fuzzy c-means loop I = 0 //------------step 1: -------------// standardize cluster weights over Q for c = 0 to C-1 min = 99999.0; max =0.0; for q = 0 to Q-1 if (u[q,c] > max) max = u[q,c]; if (u[q,c] < min) min = u[q,c]; sum = 0.0 for q = 0 to Q-1 sum = sum + (u[q,c] – min) /( max –min); for q = 0 to Q-1 u[q,c] = u[q,c]/sum; //------------step 2: -------------// compute new prototype center for c = 0 to C-1 for n = 0 to N-1 sum = 0.0; for q = 0 to Q-1 sum = sum + u[q,c] x[n,q]; u[n,c] = sum; //------------step 3: -------------// compute new weight for q = 0 to Q-1 sum = 0.0 for c = 0 to C-1 D[q,c] =0.0; for n = 0 to N-1 D[q,c] = D[q,c] + (x[n,q] – z[n,c])2

sum = sum + (1/(1 + D[q,c]))1/(p-1) ; for c = 0 to C-1 U[q,c] = (1/(1 + D[q,c]))1/(p-1) /sum; //------------step 4: -------------I = I + 1 If I < k Goto step 2; // end of fuzzy c-means loop

2.1.2 Advantages  It gives best result for overlapped data set and comparatively better than k-means algorithm.



Data points are assigned to cluster with degree of membership, no force fitting to particular category even if data point is on boundary.

2.1.3 Limitations  A priori specification of the number of clusters. The correct choice of

is often ambiguous, with interpretations depending on the shape and scale of the distribution of points in a data set and the desired clustering resolution of the user.



Better result with lower value of β but at the expense of more number of iteration.



Euclidean distance measures can unequally weight underlying factors.
