A hybrid approach for solving the cluster validity problem is proposed. The proposed technique uses a cluster validity index in conjuncrion with a merging index tofind the oplimal number of clusrerr in CI set ofdara. The lechnique does nor place any restriction on tlTe /iczy clustering technique and the cluster validity iiidex used. This paper examines rhe m e o/ Fuzzy c-Meaneans clustering and the validity index proposed by Fukuyama and Sugeno. Experimenu are carried our to v e~i f i rhe eflectiectiveness of the proposed technique. 11 is s h o w in lhis pnper lhat rhe proposed technique is more reliable thon Fukuyama and Sugenu ' s original validity index.
