  Several conventional clustering methods use the squared L₂-norm as the dissimilarity. The squared L₂-norm is calculated from only the object coordinates and obtains a linear cluster boundary. To extract meaningful cluster partitions from a set of massive objects, it is necessary to obtain cluster partitions that consisting of complex cluster boundaries. In this study, a JS-divergence-based k-medoids (JSKMdd) is proposed. In the proposed method, JS-divergence, which is calculated from the object distribution, is considered as the dissimilarity. The object distribution is estimated from kernel density estimation to calculate the dissimilarity based on both the object coordinates and their neighbors. Numerical experiments were conducted using five artificial datasets to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. In the numerical experiments, the proposed method was compared with the k-means clustering, k-medoids clustering, and spectral clustering. The results show that the proposed method yields better results in terms of clustering performance than other conventional methods.

  Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics 22 1 54 - 61 2018年01月 [査読有り]
   

  To handle a large-scale object, a two-stage clustering method has been previously proposed. The method generates a large number of clusters during the first stage and merges clusters during the second stage. In this paper, a novel two-stage clustering method is proposed by introducing cluster validity measures as the merging criterion during the second stage. The significant cluster validity measures used to evaluate cluster partitions and determine the suitable number of clusters act as the criteria for merging clusters. The performance of the proposed method based on six typical indices is compared with eight artificial datasets. These experiments show that a trace of the fuzzy covariance matrix Wtr and its kernelization KWtr are quite effective when applying the proposed method, and obtain better results than the other indices.

  A clustering method referred to as K-member clustering classifies a dataset into certain clusters, the size of which is more than a given constant K. Even-sized clustering, which classifies a dataset into even-sized clusters, is also considered along with K-member clustering. In our previous study, we proposed Even-sized Clustering Based on Optimization (ECBO) to output adequate results by formulating an even-sized clustering problem as linear programming. The simplex method is used to calculate the belongingness of each object to clusters in ECBO. In this study, ECBO is extended by introducing ideas that were introduced in Kmeans or fuzzy c-means to resolve problems of initialvalue dependence, robustness against outliers, calculation costs, and nonlinear boundaries of clusters. We also reconsider the relation between the dataset size, the cluster number, and K in ECBO. Moreover, we verify the effectiveness of the variants of ECBO based on experimental results using synthetic datasets and a benchmark dataset.

  Modularity is an evaluation measure for graph clustering. Louvain method is constructed by local optimization for modularity and is bottom up method as well as agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Cluster validity measures are used to evaluate cluster partitions as well as modularity. They are traditional evaluation measures in the field of clustering. We propose a novel graph clustering which is based on agglomerative hierarchical clustering. The proposed method in this study is constructed by local optimization for cluster validity measures. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through numerical examples. Numerical examples show that the proposed method has different clustering propety from Louvain method because of the feature of cluster validity measures.

  The problem of estimating appropriate number of clusters has been a main and difficult issue in clustering researches. There are different methods for this in hierarchical clustering a typical approach is to try clustering for different number of clusters, and compare them using a measure to estimate cluster numbers. On the other hand, there is no such method to estimate automatically the number of clusters in agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC), since AHC produces a family of clusters with different cluster numbers at the same time using the form of dendrograms. An exception is the Newman method in network clustering, but this method does not have a useful dendrogram output. The aim of the present paper is to propose new methods to automatically estimate the number of clusters in AHC. We show two approaches for this purpose, one is to use a variation of cluster validity measure, and another is to use statistical model selection method like BIC.

  Modularity is one of the evaluation measures for network data and used as the criterion of merging two clusters in Louvain method. To construct useful cluster validity measures for network data, the effectiveness of eight conventional cluster validity measures are compared with Modularity. Cluster partitions of six artificial network datasets are obtained by k-medoids and evaluated by cluster validity measures including Modularity. Numerical experiments show that the Dunn's index is effective in conventional cluster validity measures than other indices.

  Clustering is one of unsupervised classification method, that is, it classifies a data set into some clusters without any external criterion. Typical clustering methods, e.g. k-means (KM) or fuzzy c-means (FCM) are constructed based on optimization of the given objective function. Many clustering methods as well as KM and FCM are formulated as optimization problems with typical objective functions and constraints. The objective function itself is also an evaluation guideline of results of clustering methods. Considered together with its theoretical extensibility, there is the great advantage to construct clustering methods in the framework of optimization. From the viewpoint of optimization, some of the authors proposed an Even-sized Clustering method Based on Optimization (ECBO), which is with tight constraints of cluster size, and constructed some variations of ECBO. The constraint considered in ECBO is that each cluster size is K or K + 1, and the belongingness of each object to clusters is calculated by the simplex method in each iteration. It is considered that ECBO has the advantage in the viewpoint of clustering accuracy, cluster size, and optimization framework than other similar methods. However, the constraint of cluster sizes of ECBO is tight in the meaning of cluster size so that it may be inconvenient in case that some extra margin of cluster size is allowed. Moreover, it is expected that new clustering algorithms in which each cluster size can be controlled deal with more various datasets. From the above view point, we proposed two new clustering algorithms based on ECBO. One is COntrolled-sized Clustering Based on Optimization (COCBO), and the other is an extended COCBO, which is referred to as COntrolled-sized Clustering Based on Optimization++ (COCBO++). Each cluster size can be controlled in the algorithms. However, these algorithms have some problems. In this paper, we will describe various types of COCBO to solve the above problems and estimate the methods in some numerical examples.

  A large number of clustering algorithms have been proposed to handle target data and deal with various real-world problems such as uncertain data mining, semi-supervised learning and so on. We focus above two topics and introduce two concepts to construct significant clustering algorithms. We propose tolerance and penalty-vector concepts for handling uncertain data. We also propose clusterwise tolerance concept for semi-supervised learning. These concepts are quite similar approach in the viewpoint of handling objects to be flexible to each clustering topics. We construct two clustering algorithms FCMT and FCMQ for handling uncertain data. We also construct two clustering algorithms FCMCT and SSFCMCT for semi- supervised learning. We consider that those concepts have a potential to resolve conventional and brand new clustering topics in various ways.

  The x-means determines the suitable number of clusters automatically by executing k-means recursively. The Bayesian Information Criterion is applied to evaluate a cluster partition in the x-means. A novel type of x-means clustering is proposed by introducing cluster validity measures that are used to evaluate the cluster partition and determine the number of clusters instead of the information criterion. The proposed x- means uses cluster validity measures in the evaluation step, and an estimation of the particular probabilistic model is therefore not required. The performances of a conventional x-means and the proposed method are compared for crisp and fuzzy partitions using eight datasets. The comparison shows that the proposed method obtains better results than the conventional method, and that the cluster validity measures for a fuzzy partition are effective in the proposed method.

  The fuzzy non-metric model (FNM) is a representative non-hierarchical clustering method, which is very useful because the belongingness or the membership degree of each datum to each cluster can be calculated directly from the dissimilarities between data and the cluster centers are not used. However, the original FNM cannot handle data with uncertainty. In this study, we refer to the data with uncertainty as "uncertain data," e.g., incomplete data or data that have errors. Previously, a methods was proposed based on the concept of a tolerance vector for handling uncertain data and some clustering methods were constructed according to this concept, e.g. fuzzy c-means for data with tolerance. These methods can handle uncertain data in the framework of optimization. Thus, in the present study, we apply the concept to FNM. First, we propose a new clustering algorithm based on FNMusing the concept of tolerance, which we refer to as the fuzzy non-metric model for data with tolerance. Second, we show that the proposed algorithm can handle incomplete data sets. Third, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm based on comparisons with conventional methods for incomplete data sets in some numerical examples.

  Clustering is a very useful tool of data mining. A clustering method which is referred to as K-member clustering is to classify a dataset into some clusters of which the size is more than a given constant K. The K-member clustering is useful and it is applied to many applications. Naturally, clustering methods to classify a dataset into some even-sized clusters can be considered and some even-sized clustering methods have been proposed. However, conventional even-sized clustering methods often output inadequate results. One of the reasons is that they are not based on optimization. Therefore, we proposed Even-sized Clustering Based on Optimization (ECBO) in our previous study. The simplex method is used to calculate the belongingness of each object to clusters in ECBO. In this study, ECBO is extended by introducing some ideas which were introduced in k-means or fuzzy c-means to improve problems of initial-value dependence, robustness against outliers, calculation cost, and nonlinear boundaries of clusters. Moreover, we reconsider the relation between the dataset size, the cluster number, and K in ECBO.

  Two-stage clustering is constructed from generating stage and merging one. To handle a large scale of objects, an algorithm of the two-stage clustering generates a large number of clusters in the first stage and merge clusters in the second stage. A novel two-stage clustering method is proposed by introducing cluster validity measures which are used to evaluate cluster partition and determine the suitable number of clusters. The significant cluster validity measure is used in the second stage and play a role as criterion to merge clusters. The performance of the proposed method are compared with six artificial datasets and three benchmark datasets. These experiments show that several cluster validity measures, that is, trace of fuzzy covariance matrix and membership degrees based indices are effective in the proposed method and obtain better results than other indices.

  A method of sequential clustering extracts a cluster sequentially without determining the number of clusters. The sequential hard clustering is based on noise clustering and one of the typical sequential clustering methods. A kernelized sequential hard clustering is proposed by introducing the kernel method to sequential hard clustering to handle datasets which consists non-linear clusters and execute robust clustering. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with a typical dataset which consists non-linear cluster boundary. Negative results are obtained through numerical examples and those show that the proposed method can not extract non-linear clusters

  Clustering is a technique of unsupervised classification. The methods are classified into two types, one is hierarchical and the other is non-hierarchical. Fuzzy non-metric model (FNM) is a representative method of non-hierarchical clustering. FNM is very useful because belongingness or the membership degree of each datum to each cluster is calculated directly from dissimilarities between data, and cluster centers are not used. However FNM cannot handle data with uncertainty, called uncertain data, e.g. incomplete data, or data which have errors. In order to handle such data, concept of tolerance vector has been proposed. The clustering methods using the concept can handle the uncertain data in the framework of optimization, e.g. fuzzy c-means for data with tolerance (FCM-T). In this paper, we will first propose new clustering algorithm to apply the concept of tolerance to FNM, called fuzzy non-metric model for data with tolerance (FNM-T). Second, we will show that the proposed algorithm handle incomplete data sets. Third, we will verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in comparison with conventional ones for incomplete data sets through some numerical examples.

  Clustering, a highly useful unsupervised classification, has been applied in many fields. When, for example, we use clustering to classify a set of objects, it generally ignores any uncertainty included in objects. This is because uncertainty is difficult to deal with and model. It is desirable, however, to handle individual objects as is so that we may classify objects more precisely. In this paper, we propose new clustering algorithms that handle objects having uncertainty by introducing penalty vectors. We show the theoretical relationship between our proposal and conventional algorithms verifying the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms through numerical examples.

  Sequential cluster extraction algorithms are useful clustering methods that extract clusters one by one without the number of clusters having to be determined in advance. Typical examples of these algorithms are sequential hard c-means (SHCM) and possibilistic clustering (PCM) based algorithms. Two types of L1-regularized possibilistic clustering are proposed to induce crisp and possibilistic allocation rules and to construct a novel sequential cluster extraction algorithm. The relationship between the proposed method and SHCM is also discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through numerical examples. Results show that the entropy-based method yields better results for the Rand Index and the number of extracted clusters.

  This paper presents a new algorithm of sequential cluster extraction based on hard c-means and hard c-medoids clustering. Sequential cluster extraction means that the algorithm extracts 'one cluster at a time.' A characteristic parameter, called a noise parameter, is used in noise clustering based sequential clustering. We propose a novel sequential clustering method called new sequential clustering, extracts an arbitrary number of objects as one cluster by considering the noise parameter as a variable to be optimized. Experimental results with four data sets confirm the effectiveness of our proposal. These results also show that classification results strongly depend on parameter ν and that our proposal is applicable to the first stage in a two-stage clustering algorithm.

  Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics 19 1 23 - 28 2015年01月 [査読有り]
   

  This paper proposes entropy-based L1-regularized possibilistic clustering and a method of sequential cluster extraction from relational data. Sequential cluster extraction means that the algorithm extracts cluster one by one. The assignment prototype algorithm is a typical clustering method for relational data. The membership degree of each object to each cluster is calculated directly from dissimilarities between objects. An entropy-based L1-regularized possibilistic assignment prototype algorithm is proposed first to induce belongingness for a membership grade. An algorithm of sequential cluster extraction based on the proposed method is constructed and the effectiveness of the proposed methods is shown through numerical examples.

  This paper presents a new sequential cluster extraction algorithm based on hard c-medoids clustering. The word sequential cluster extraction means that the algorithm extract one cluster at a time. The hard c-medoids is one of the variants of hard c-means clustering. The cluster medoid which is referred to as representative of each cluster is an object in hard c-medoids. The sequential clustering algorithms are based on Dave's noise clustering approach. A characteristic parameter which is called noise parameter is used in noise clustering. We construct a new sequential hard c-medoids algorithm by considering the noise parameter as a variables in optimization problem. First, the optimization problem of new sequential hard c-medoids clustering is introduced. Next, the sequential clustering algorithm is constructed based on the optimization problem. Moreover, the effectiveness of proposed method is shown through numerical experiments.

  Clustering methods to divide a data set into some clusters of which the size is more than a given constant K, are very useful in many applications. The methods are called K-member clustering (KMC). As a natural result, clustering methods to divide a data set into even-sized clusters can be considered. However, there are no algorithms of such methods based on optimization. That is why the conventional algorithms often output inadequate results. Therefore we should consider an algorithm based on optimization. In this paper, we propose even-sized clustering algorithm using simplex method which is one of optimization method, and verify the proposed method through some numerical examples.

  The relational clustering is one of the clustering methods for relational data. The membership grade of each datum to each cluster is calculated directly from dissimilarities between datum and the cluster center which is referred to as representative of cluster is not used in relational clustering. This paper discusses a new possibilistic approach for relational clustering from the viewpoint of inducing the crispness. In the previous study, crisp possibilistic clustering and its variant has been proposed by using L-1-regularization. These crisp possibilistic clustering methods induce the crispness in the membership function.

  This paper presents a new sequential clustering algorithm based on sequential hard c-means clustering. The word sequential cluster extraction means that the algorithm extract one cluster at a time. The sequential hard c-means is one of the typical and conventional sequential clustering methods. The proposed new sequential clustering algorithm is based on Dave's noise clustering approach. A characteristic parameter which is called noise parameter is applied in Dave's approach. We construct a new sequential hard c-means algorithm by introducing another new parameter which controls a number of extracting objects and considering the noise parameter as a variables in optimization problem. First, the optimization problem of new sequential hard c-means clustering is introduced. Next, the sequential clustering algorithm and its kernelization are constructed based on above optimization problem. Moreover, the effectiveness of proposed method is shown through numerical experiments.

  Possibilistic clustering is well-known as one of the useful clustering methods because it is robust against noise or outlier in data. In the previous study, sparse possibilistic clustering and its variant has been proposed by using 1-regularization. These possibilistic clustering methods with 1-regularization are quite different from the viewpoint of membership function. Two types of new possibilistic approach with 1- regularization named crisp possibilistic clustering are proposed in this paper. Classification function of proposed methods which shows allocation rule in whole space and the way of sequential cluster extraction are also proposed. The effectiveness of proposed methods is, moreover, shown through numerical examples. © 2013 IEEE.

  The fuzzy non-metric model is one of the clustering methods in which the membership grade of each datum to each cluster is calculated directly from dissimilarities between data. The cluster center which is referred to as representative of cluster is not used in fuzzy non-metric model. This paper discusses a new possibilistic approach for non-metric model from the viewpoint of being in the cluster. In the previous study, new possibilistic clustering and its variant have been proposed by using L1-regularization. These possibilistic clustering methods with L1-regularization induce a change in the membership function. Two types of non-metric model based on possibilistic approach named L1-regularized possibilistic non-metric model are proposed in this paper. Next, the way of sequential extraction algorithm is also discussed. Moreover, the results of sequential extraction based on proposed methods are shown. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

  This paper presents a new semi-supervised fuzzy c-means clustering for data with clusterwise tolerance by opposite criteria. In semi-supervised clustering, pairwise constraints, that is, must-link and cannot-link, are frequently used in order to improve clustering performances. From the viewpoint of handling pairwise constraints, a new semi-supervised fuzzy c-means clustering is proposed by introducing clusterwise tolerance-based pairwise constraints. First, a concept of clusterwise tolerance-based pairwise constraints is introduced. Second, the optimization problems of the proposed method are formulated. Especially, must-link and cannot-link are handled by opposite criteria in our proposed method. Third, a new clustering algorithm is constructed based on the above discussions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through numerical examples.

  In addition to fuzzy c-means clustering, possibilistic clustering is well-known as one of the useful techniques because it is robust against noise in data. Especially sparse possibilistic clustering is quite different from other possibilistic clustering methods in the point of membership function. We propose a way to induce the crispness in possibilistic clustering by using L-1-regularization and show classification function of sparse possibilistic clustering with crispness for understanding allocation rule. We, moreover, show the way of sequential extraction by proposed method. After that, we show the effectiveness of the proposed method through numerical examples.

  Non metric model is a kind of clustering method in which belongingness or the membership grade of each object to each cluster is calculated directly from dissimilarities between objects and cluster centers are not used. By the way, the concept of rough set is recently focused. Conventional clustering algorithms classify a set of objects into some clusters with clear boundaries, that is, one object must belong to one cluster. However, many objects belong to more than one cluster in real world, since the boundaries of clusters overlap with each other. Fuzzy set representation of clusters makes it possible for each object to belong to more than one cluster. On the other hand, the fuzzy degree sometimes may be too descriptive for interpreting clustering results. Rough set representation could handle such cases. Clustering based on rough set representation could provide a solution that is less restrictive than conventional clustering and less descriptive than fuzzy clustering. This paper shows two type of Rough set based Non Metric model (RNM). One algorithm is Rough set based Hard Non Metric model (RHNM) and the other is Rough set based Fuzzy Non Metric model (RFNM). In the both algorithms, clusters are represented by rough sets and each cluster consists of lower and upper approximation. Second, the proposed methods are kernelized by introducing kernel functions which are a powerful tool to analize clusters with nonlinear boundaries. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

  Clustering is an unsupervised classification technique for data analysis. In general, each datum in real space is transformed into a point in a pattern space to apply clustering methods. Data cannot often be represented by a point, however, because of its uncertainty, e.g., measurement error margin and missing values in data. In this paper, we will introduce quadratic penalty-vector regularization to handle such uncertain data using Hard c-Means (HCM), which is one of the most typical clustering algorithms. We first propose a new clustering algorithm called hard c-means using quadratic penalty-vector regularization for uncertain data (HCMP). Second, we propose sequential extraction hard c-means using quadratic penalty-vector regularization (SHCMP) to handle datasets whose cluster number is unknown. Furthermore, we verify the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms through numerical examples.

  Recently, semi-supervised clustering attracts many researchers' interest. In particular, constraint-based semi-supervised clustering is focused and the constraints of must-link and cannot-link play very important role in the clustering. There are many kinds of relations as well as must-link or cannot-link and one of the most typical relations is the trade-off relation. Thus, in this paper we formulate the trade-off relation and propose a new "semi-supervised" concept called mutual relation. Moreover, we construct two types of new clustering algorithms with the mutual relation constraints based on the well-known and useful fuzzy c-means, called fuzzy c-means with the mutual relation constraints.

  In many cases, data are handled as intervals on the pattern space because the data generally contain the uncertainty of error, loss and so on. The concept of tolerance in this paper enables us to handle these data as a point on the pattern space. The advantage is that we can handle uncertain data in the framework of optimization without introducing any particular measures between intervals. In recent years, this concept is positively introduced into clustering methods and the effectiveness is confirmed. However, there are few applications of the concept into multivariate analysis methods except regression models in spite of its effectiveness. Therefore, we propose a new algorithm of principal component analysis for uncertain data by introducing the concept of the tolerance in this paper. Moreover, we verify the effectiveness through some numerical examples. © 2011 IEEE.

  This paper presents Mahalanobis distance based fuzzy c-means clustering for uncertain data using penalty vector regularization. When we handle a set of data, data contains inherent uncertainty e. g., errors, ranges or some missing value of attributes. In order to handle such uncertain data as a point in a pattern space the concept of penalty vector has been proposed. Some significant clustering algorithms based on it have been also proposed. In conventional clustering algorithms, Mahalanobis distance have been used as dissimilarity as well as squared L-2 and L-1-norm. From the viewpoint of the guideline of dissimilarity, Mahalanobis distance based fuzzy c-means clustering for uncertain data should be considered. In this paper, we introduce fuzzy c-means clustering for uncertain data using penalty vector regularization as our conventional works. Next, we propose Mahalanobis distance based one. Moreover, we show the effectiveness of proposed method through numerical examples.

  Recently, fuzzy c-means clustering with kernel functions is remarkable in the reason that these algorithms can handle datasets which consist of some clusters with nonlinear boundaries. However the algorithms have the following problems: (1) the cluster centers can not be calculated explicitly, (2) it takes long time to calculate clustering results. By the way, we have proposed the clustering algorithms using penalty-vector regularization to handle uncertain data. In this paper, we propose new clustering algorithms using quadratic penalty-vector regularization by introducing explicit mappings of kernel functions to solve the following problems. Moreover, we construct fuzzy classification functions for our proposed clustering methods.

  Detecting various kinds of cluster shape is an important problem in the field of clustering. In general, it is difficult to obtain clusters with different sizes or shapes by single-objective function. From that sense, we have proposed the concept of clusterwise tolerance and constructed clustering algorithms based on it. In the field of data mining, regularization techniques are used in order to derive significant classifiers. In this paper, we propose another concept of clusterwise tolerance from the viewpoint of regularization. Moreover, we construct clustering algorithms for data with clusterwise tolerance based on L2- and L1-regularization. After that, we describe fuzzy classification functions of proposed algorithms. Finally, we show the effectiveness of proposed algorithms through numerical examples.
• Fuzzy c-means clustering for uncertain data using quadratic penalty-vector regularization

  Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics 15 1 76 - 82 2011年 

  Clustering - defined as an unsupervised data-analysis classification transforming real-space information into data in pattern space and analyzing it - may require that data be represented by a set, rather than points, due to data uncertainty, e.g., measurement error margin, data regarded as one point, or missing values. These data uncertainties have been represented as interval ranges for which many clustering algorithms are constructed, but the lack of guidelines in selecting available distances in individual cases has made selection difficult and raised the need for ways to calculate dissimilarity between uncertain data without introducing a nearest-neighbor or other distance. The tolerance concept we propose represents uncertain data as a point with a tolerance vector, not as an interval, while this is convenient for handling uncertain data, tolerance-vector constraints make mathematical development difficult. We attempt to remove the tolerance-vector constraints using quadratic penaltyvector regularization similar to the tolerance vector. We also propose clustering algorithms for uncertain data considering optimization and obtaining an optimal solution to handle uncertainty appropriately.

  This paper presents two new types of clustering algorithms by using tolerance vector called tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering and tolerant possibilistic clustering. In the proposed algorithms, the new concept of tolerance vector plays very important role. The original concept is developed to handle data flexibly, that is, a tolerance vector attributes not only to each data but also each cluster. Using the new concept, we can consider the influence of clusters to each data by the tolerance. First, the new concept of tolerance is introduced into optimization problems. Second, the optimization problems with tolerance are solved by using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Third, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the optimal solutions for clustering. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is verified through numerical examples and its fuzzy classification function.

  2010 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUZZY SYSTEMS (FUZZ-IEEE 2010) 1 - 6 2010年 [査読有り]
   

  Cluster validity measures are used in order to determine an appropriate number of clusters and evaluate cluster partitions obtained by clustering algorithms. When we handle a set of data, data contains inherent uncertainty e. g., errors, ranges or some missing value of attributes. The concept of tolerance has been proposed from the viewpoint of handling such uncertain data. In this paper, we introduce clustering algorithms for data with tolerance. Moreover, we propose new five measures for data with tolerance, that is, the determinants and the traces of fuzzy covariance matrices, the Xie-Beni's index, the Fukuyama-Sugeno's index, and the Davies-Bouldin's index. We compare the performance of conventional ones with their tolerance versions. We found that our proposed measures takes smaller value than conventional ones. These results indicate tolerance based clustering method is suitable for handling uncertain data.
• Hard and Fuzzy c-Regression Models for Data with Tolerance in Independent and Dependent Variables

  c-regression models are known as very useful tools in many fields. Since now, many trials to construct c-regression models for data with uncertainty in independent and dependent variables have been done. However, there are few c-regression models for data with uncertainty in independent variables in comparison with dependent variables now. The reason is as follows. The models are constructed using optimal solutions which is derived by solving an optimization problem "analytically". The problem for data with uncertainty in dependent variables can be easily solved but it is very difficult to solve the problem for data with uncertainty in independent variables "analytically". Therefore, most of the models for data with uncertainty in independent variables are constructed in which the solutions are calculated "numerically". By the way, we have proposed "tolerance" of a convenient tool to handle data with uncertainty [3] and applied it to some of clustering algorithms [4]-[7]. This concept of tolerance is very useful. The reason is that we can handle data with uncertainty in the framework of optimization to use the concept, without introducing some particular measure between intervals. Especially when we handle the data with missing values of its attributes in the framework of optimization like as fuzzy c-means clustering [6], this tool is effective. Besides, we think that the tolerance is also available when we consider to construct a regression model for data with uncertainty in independent and dependent variables. In this paper, we first derive the optimal solutions for c-regression models for data with uncertainty in independent and dependent variables "analytically" by using the concept of tolerance. Second, we construct hard and fuzzy c-regression models for data with tolerance in independent and dependent variables. Moreover, we estimate effectiveness of the algorithms through some numerical examples.

  We have proposed tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering (TFCM) from the viewpoint of handling data more flexibly. This paper presents a new type of tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering with L-1-regularization. L-1-regularization is well-known as the most successful techniques to induce sparseness. The proposed algorithm is different from the viewpoint of the sparseness for tolerance vector. In the original concept of tolerance, a tolerance vector attributes to each data. This paper develops the concept to handle data flexibly, that is, a tolerance vector attributes not only to each data but also each cluster. First, the new concept of tolerance is introduced into optimization problems. These optimization problems are based on conventional fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM). Second, the optimization problems with tolerance are solved by using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and an optimization method for L-1-regularization. Third, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the explicit optimal solutions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through some numerical examples.

  In this paper, we will propose two types of tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering with regularization terms. One is L-2-regularization term and the other is L-1-regularization one for tolerance vector. Introducing a concept of clusterwise tolerance, we have proposed tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering from the viewpoint of handling data more flexibly. In tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering, a constraint for tolerance vector which restricts the upper bound of tolerance vector is used. In this paper, regularization terms for tolerance vector are used instead of the constraint. First, the concept of clusterwise tolerance is introduced. Second, optimization problems for tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering with regularization term are formulated. Third, optimal solutions of these optimization problems are derived. Fourth, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the explicit optimal solutions. Finally, effectiveness of proposed algorithms is verified through numerical examples.

  In recent years, data from many natural and social phenomena are accumulated into huge databases in the world wide network of computers. Thus, advanced data analysis techniques to get valuable knowledge from data using computing power of today are required. Clustering is one of the unsupervised classification technique of the data analysis and both of hard and fuzzy c-means clusterings are the most typical technique of clustering. By the way, information on a real space is transformed to data in a pattern space and analyzed in clustering. However, the data should be often represented not by a point but by a set because of uncertainty of the data, e.g., measurement error margin, data that cannot be regarded as one point, and missing values in data. These uncertainties of data have been represented as interval range and many clustering algorithms for these interval ranges of data have been constructed. However, the guideline to select an available distance in each case has not been shown so that this selection problem is difficult. Therefore, methods to calculate the dissimilarity between such uncertain data without introducing a particular distance, e.g., nearest neighbor one and so on, have been strongly desired. From this viewpoint, we have proposed a concept of tolerance. The concept represents a uncertain data not as an interval but as a point with a tolerance vector. In this paper, we try to remove the constraint for tolerance vectors by using quadratic regularization of penalty vector which is similar to tolerance vector and propose new clustering algorithms for uncertain data through considering the optimization problems and obtaining the optimal solution, to handle such uncertainty more appropriately.

  In this paper, we will propose two types of L-1-norm based tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering (TFCM) from the viewpoint of handling data more flexibly. One is based on the constraint for tolerance vector and the other is based on the regularization term. First, the concept of clusterwise tolerance is introduced into optimization problems. In these methods, a tolerance vector attributes not only to each data but also each cluster. First, the concept of clusterwise tolerance is introduced into optimization problems. Second, optimal solutions for these optimization problems are derived. Third, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the explicit optimal solutions. Finally, effectiveness of proposed algorithms is verified through numerical examples.

  We have two methods of pattern classification, one is supervised and the other is unsupervised. Unsupervised classification, which is called clustering and classifies data except external criteria, is very useful in the methods of pattern classification so that it has been applied in many fields. There are two types of clustering, one is hierarchical and the other is non-hierarchical. We often use hard c-means clustering (HCM) or fuzzy c-means blustering (FCM) as typical methods of non-hierarchical clustering. By the way, supervised classification can achieve practical classification results but can't handle a lot of data. On the other hand unsupervised classification can handle a lot of data but the method is complex and sometimes results look a bit of strange. Therefore recently, study of semi-supervised classification has been studied. This classification has advantages of both of the above-mentioned methods, e.g., practical results, low costs and short calculation time. In this paper, we propose new semi-supervised classification algorithms based on fuzzy c-means clustering in which some membership grades are given as supervised membership grade in advance.

  We have proposed tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering (TFCM) from the viewpoint of handling data more flexibly. This paper presents a new type of tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering with L-1-regularization. L-1-regularization is well-known as the most successful techniques to induce sparseness. The proposed algorithm is different from the viewpoint of the sparseness for tolerance vector. In the original concept of tolerance, a tolerance vector attributes to each data. This paper develops the concept to handle data flexibly, that is, a tolerance vector attributes not only to each data but also each cluster. First, the new concept of tolerance is introduced into optimization problems. These optimization problems are based on conventional fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM). Second, the optimization problems with tolerance are solved by using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and an optimization method for L-1-regularization. Third, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the explicit optimal solutions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through some numerical examples.

  The clustering algorithm we propose is based on probabilistic dissimilarity, which is formed by introducing the concept of probability into conventional dissimilarity. After defining probabilistic dissimilarity, we present examples of probabilistic dissimilarity functions. After considering an objective function with probabilistic dissimilarity. Furthermore, we construct a clustering algorithm probabilistic dissimilarity based using optimal solutions maximizing the objective function. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of our algorithm.

  This paper presents a new type of clustering algorithms by using a tolerance vector called tolerant fuzzy c-means clustering (TFCM). In the proposed algorithms, the new concept of tolerance vector plays very important role. In the original concept of tolerance, a tolerance vector attributes to each data. This concept is developed to handle data flexibly, that is, a tolerance vector attributes not only to each data but also each cluster. Using the new concept, we can consider the influence of clusters to each data by the tolerance. First, the new concept of tolerance is introduced into optimization problems based on conventional fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM). Second, the optimization problems with tolerance are solved by using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Third, new clustering algorithms are constructed based on the explicit optimal solutions of the optimization problems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is verified through numerical examples by fuzzy classification function.

  本稿では，データに伴う不確実性を，許容範囲という新たな概念を導入して，定式化した上で，許容範囲を持つデータに対する２つの新たなクラスタリングアルゴリズムを，代表的なクラスタリング手法であるハード c-平均法（HCM）と学習ベクトル量子化によるクラスタリング手法（LVQC）それぞれをもとにして構築する．許容範囲とは，データが持つ誤差・幅・属性の欠損などを包含したデータに伴う不確実性を表す概念である．従来のクラスタリング手法では，その対象がパターン空間上にマッピングされた点であるが，データがある種の不確実性を含む場合，データは点ではなく，集合として表される．既に提案されている手法では，集合間の類似度や非類似度は最短距離や最長距離などの測度を用いて定義される．しかし，それら別の測度を導入するよりは，それらを導入せずに同一の測度を用いて議論を展開するほうが自然であるし，論理的にも簡潔となる．そこで，不確実性を持つデータを最適化の枠組で扱うための新たな方法として，超直方体で定義された許容範囲を提案し，新たなアルゴリズムの構築を行う．また，提案手法による，いくつかの数値例を示し，その有効性を示す．
