Abstract
En 中文
Data sets are usually mixed with numerical and categorical attributes in the real world. Data mining of mixed data makes a lot of sense. This paper proposes an Intuitive-K-prototypes clustering algorithm with improved prototype representation and attribute weights. The proposed algorithm defines intuitionistic distribution centroid for categorical attributes. In our approach, a heuristic search for initial prototypes is performed. Then, we combine the mean of numerical attributes and intuitionistic distribution centroid to represent the cluster prototype. In addition, intra-cluster complexity and inter-cluster similarity are used to adjust attribute weights, with higher priority given to those with lower complexity and similarity. The membership and non-membership distance are calculated using the intuitionistic distribution centroid. These distances are then combined parametrically to obtain the composite distance. The algorithm is judged for its clustering effectiveness on the real UCI data set, and the results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional clustering algorithm in most cases.
