Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to find the optimal number of clusters of a fuzzy partition. It is based on a fuzzy modeling approach which combines measures of clusters' separation and overlap. Theses measures are based on triangular norms and a discrete Sugeno integral. Results on artificial and real data sets prove its efficiency compared to indexes from the literature.
