Enhancing Fuzzy C-Means Clustering with a Novel Standard Deviation Weighted Distance Measure by Ahmed Husham Mohammed, Marwan Abdul Hameed Ashour

“…It was proven  through the experimental results that  the proposed distance measure Weighted Euclidean distance  had the advantage over improving the work of the HFCM algorithm through the criterion (Obj_Fun, Iteration, Min_optimization, good fit clustering and overlap) when (c = 2,3) and according to the simulation results, c = 2 was chosen to form groups for the real data, which contributed to determine the best objective function (23.93, 22.44, 18.83) at degrees of fuzzing (1.2, 2, 2.8), while according to the degree of fuzzing (m = 3.6), the objective function for Euclidean Distance (ED) was the lowest, but the criteria were (Iter. = 2, Min_optimization = 0 and )  which confirms that (WED) is the best.…”
