Abstract

Clustering is a well-known method of data mining, which aims at extracting useful information from a data set. Clusters could be either crisp (having well-defined boundaries) or fuzzy (with vague boundaries) in nature. The present paper deals with fuzzy clustering of psychosis data. A set of statistically generated psychosis data are clustered using Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm and entropy-based method and its proposed extensions. From the clusters, we finally decide on patient distributions response-wise. Comparisons are made of the above algorithms, in terms of quality of clusters made and their computational complexity. Finally, the multidimensional best set of clusters are mapped into 2-D for visualisation, using a Self-Organising Map (SOM).
