Abstract

In this paper, we present a linked-list based encoding scheme for multiple objectives based genetic algorithm (GA) to identify clusters in a partition. Our approach obtains the optimal partitions for all the possible numbers of clusters in the Pareto Optimal set returned by a single genetic GA run. The performance of the proposed approach has been tested using two well-known data sets, namely Iris and Ruspini. The obtained results are promising and demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
