In the first step the algorithm employs an entropy-based clustering scheme, which initializes the cluster centers. In the second step we apply the fuzzy c-modes algorithm to obtain a fuzzy partition of the data set, and the third step introduces a novel cluster validity index, which decides the final number of clusters. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {1}, year = {2007}, pages = {192 - 196}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13836}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/1}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 1, 2007}, }
