Many mixed datasets with both numerical and categorical attributes have been collected in various fields, including medicine, biology, etc. Designing appropriate similarity measurements plays an important role in clustering these datasets. Many traditional measurements treat various attributes equally when measuring the similarity. However, different attributes may contribute differently as the amount of information they contained could vary a lot. In this paper, we propose a similarity measurement with entropy-based weighting for clustering mixed datasets. The numerical data are first transformed into categorical data by an automatic categorization technique. Then, an entropy-based weighting strategy is applied to denote the different importances of various attributes. We incorporate the proposed measurement into an iterative clustering algorithm, and extensive experiments show that this algorithm outperforms OCIL and K-Prototype methods with 2.13% and 4.28% improvements, respectively, in terms of accuracy on six mixed datasets from UCI.

Fuzzy C Means Algorithm

The fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) algorithm is used widely in medical image segmentation and suitable for segmenting brain tumors. Therefore, an intuitionistic fuzzy C-means algorithm based on membership information transferring and similarity measurements (IFCM-MS) is proposed to segment brain tumor magnetic resonance images (MRI) in this paper. The original FCM lacks spatial information, which leads to a high noise sensitivity. To address this issue, the membership information transfer model is adopted to the IFCM-MS. Specifically, neighborhood information and the similarity of adjacent iterations are incorporated into the clustering process. Besides, FCM uses simple distance measurements to calculate the membership degree, which causes an unsatisfactory result. So, a similarity measurement method is designed in the IFCM-MS to improve the membership calculation, in which gray information and distance information are fused adaptively. In addition, the complex structure of the brain results in MRIs with uncertainty boundary tissues. To overcome this problem, an intuitive fuzzy attribute is embedded into the IFCM-MS. Experiments performed on real brain tumor images demonstrate that our IFCM-MS has low noise sensitivity and high segmentation accuracy.
