A Direct Data Cluster Analysis Method Based On Neutrosophic Set Implication

Raw data are classified using clustering techniques in a reasonable manner to create disjoint clusters. A lot of clustering algorithms based on specific parameters have been proposed to access a high volume of datasets. This paper focuses on cluster analysis based on neutrosophic set implication, i.e., a k-means algorithm with a threshold-based clustering technique. This algorithm addresses the shortcomings of the k-means clustering algorithm by overcoming the limitations of the threshold-based clustering algorithm. To evaluate the validity of the proposed method, several validity measures and validity indices are applied to the Iris dataset (from the University of California, Irvine, Machine Learning Repository) along with k-means and threshold-based clustering algorithms. The proposed method results in more segregated datasets with compacted clusters, thus achieving higher validity indices. The method also eliminates the limitations of threshold-based clustering algorithm and validates measures and respective indices along with k-means and threshold-based clustering algorithms.

In this work, a new clustering algorithm is proposed based on neutrosophic set (NS) theory. The main contribution is to use NS to handle boundary and outlier points as challenging points of clustering methods. In the first step, a new de nition of data indeterminacy (indeterminacy set) is proposed in NS domain based on density properties of data.

Fifty years have gone by since the publication of the first paper on clustering based on fuzzy sets theory.

Clustering algorithm is one of the important research topics in the field of machine learning. Neutrosophic clustering is the generalization of fuzzy clustering and has been applied to many fields. this paper presents a new neutrosophic clustering algorithm with the help of regularization. Firstly, the regularization term is introduced into the FC-PFS algorithm to generate sparsity, which can reduce the complexity of the algorithm on large data sets. Secondly, we propose a method to simplify the process of determining regularization parameters. Finally, experiments show that the clustering results of this algorithm on artificial data sets and real data sets are mostly better than other clustering algorithms. Our clustering algorithm is effective in most cases.

In this paper, we propose the concept of fuzzy equivalence on standard neutrosophic sets and rough standard neutrosophic sets. We also provide some formulas for fuzzy equivalence on standard neutrosophic sets and rough standard neutrosophic sets. We also apply these formulas for cluster analysis. Numerical examples are illustrated.

Images are one of the primary media for sharing information. The image segmentation is an important image processing approach, which analyzes what is inside the image. Image segmentation can be used in content-based image retrieval, image feature extraction, pattern recognition, etc. In this work, clustering based image segmentation method used and modified by introducing neutrosophic logic.
