Abstract
Clustering by fast search and find of density peaks (CFSFDP) is proposed to cluster the data by finding of density peaks. CFSFDP is based on two assumptions that: a cluster center is a high dense data-point as compared to its surrounding neighbors and it lies at a large distance from other cluster centers. Based on these assumptions, CFSFDP supports a heuristic approach, known as decision graph to manually select cluster centers. Manual selection of cluster centers is a big limitation of CFSFDP in intelligent data analysis. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy-CFSFDP method for adaptively selecting the cluster centers, effectively. Fuzzy-CFSFDP uses the fuzzy rules based on aforementioned assumption for the selection of cluster centers, adaptively. We performed a number of experiments on eight synthetic clustering datasets and compared the resulting clusters with the state of the art methods. Clustering results and the comparisons of synthetic data validate the robustness and effectiveness of proposed fuzzy-CFSFDP method.
