Abstract

The fuzzy clustering methods are useful in the data mining applications. This paper describes a new fuzzy clustering method in which each cluster prototype is calculated as a value that minimizes introducted generalized cost function. The generalized cost function utilizes the Lp norm. The fuzzy meridian is a special case of cluster prototype for p = 2 as well as the fuzzy meridian for p = 1. A method for the norm selection is proposed. An example illustrating the performance of the proposed method is given.
