Abstract

The Fuzzy C-Means algorithm (FCM) is a widely applied clustering method. However, it is usually trapped into the local optimum. In addition, its performance is very sensitive to the initialization. This paper proposes a new fuzzy clustering method based on the immune clonal selection principle, namely CFCM. The clonal selection algorithm is first used to optimize the number of fuzzy cluster centers. The FCM is next employed for clustering the input data. Simulation results demonstrate that our novel approach can overcome the drawbacks of the regular FCM with an improved data clustering performance.
