This paper introduces a novel intuitionistic fuzzy set-based heuristic algorithm of possibilistic clustering. For the purpose, some remarks on the fuzzy approach to clustering are discussed and a brief review of intuitionistic fuzzy set-based clustering procedures is given, basic concepts of the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory and the intuitionistic fuzzy generalization of the heuristic approach to possibilistic clustering are considered, a general plan of the proposed clustering procedure is described in detail, two illustrative examples confirm good performance of the proposed algorithm, and some preliminary conclusions are formulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
