Abstract

The rough clustering algorithm we proposed based on the optimization of objective function (RCM) has a problem because conventional rough clustering algorithm results do not ensure that solutions are optimal. To solve this problem, we propose rough clustering algorithms based on optimization of an objective function with fuzzy-set representation. This yields more flexible results than RCM. We verify algorithm effectiveness through numerical examples.
