Abstract

The term `missing cluster' (MC) is introduced as an undesirable feature of fuzzy partitions. A method for detecting persistent MCs is shown to improve the choice of proper fuzzy parameter values in fuzzy C-means clustering when compared to other methods. The comparison was based on simulated data and gene expression profiles of cancer.
