In advfclust: Fuzzy Clustering (Ensembling and Optimization)

Description

Gustafson Kessel clustering Algorithm that improved by Babuska for estimating covariance cluster (Babuska, 2002)

Usage

fuzzy.GK(X, K, m, gamma, rho, max.iteration, threshold, member.init,
  RandomNumber = 0)

Arguments

X	dataset (matrix/data frame)
K	number of cluster
m	fuzzyfier
gamma	tuning parameter
rho	volume cluster parameter
max.iteration	maximum iteration for convergence
threshold	convergence criteria
member.init	membership object or matrix that will be used for initialized
RandomNumber	random number for start initializing

Details

This function perform Fuzzy C-Means algorithm by Gustafson Kessel (1968) that improved by Babuska et al (2002). Gustafson Kessel (GK) is one of fuzzy clustering methods to clustering dataset become K cluster. Number of cluster (K) must be greater than 1. To control the overlaping or fuzziness of clustering, parameter m must be specified. Maximum iteration and threshold is specific number for convergencing the cluster. Random Number is number that will be used for seeding to firstly generate fuzzy membership matrix.

Clustering will produce fuzzy membership matrix (U) and fuzzy cluster centroid (V). The greatest value of membership on data point will determine cluster label. Centroid or cluster center can be use to interpret the cluster. Both membership and centroid produced by calculating mathematical distance. Fuzzy C-Means calculate distance with Covariance Cluster norm distance. So it can be said that cluster will have both sperichal and elipsodial shape of geometry.

Babuska improve the covariance estimation via tuning covariance cluster with covariance of data. Tuning parameter determine proportion of covariance data and covariance cluster that will be used to estimate new covariance cluster. Beside improving via tuning, Basbuka improve the algorithm with decomposition of covariance so it will become non singular matrix.
