A Fuzzy Classification of the Chemical Elements

Abstract

The fuzzy clustering algorithm is applied in order to obtain the cluster structure of the chemical elements, based on their physical, chemical, and structural properties. The results obtained with the fuzzy method are consistent with the chemical behavior of the elements and with the predictions based on their electronic structure. An IBM-PC computer has been used to run the corresponding program written in Pascal. Moreover, the results suggest some new untrivial relationships between chemical elements according to the gradual nature of their properties.

Assessment of Heart Disease using Fuzzy Classification Techniques

“…Moreover, we are not interested only in the final fuzzy partition; we are interested in the relationships between different fuzzy sets. These relationships may be observed very well from the binary classification tree [6,7,9,11,12,14].…”

“…Among other interesting applications, the fuzzy clustering theory developed in References [3,4,6,8] has been used for the selection and the optimal combination of solvents [7,13], for the classification of Roman pottery [9], for the cross-classification of Greek muds [6], for the development of a fuzzy system of chemical elements [12,14], for producing a performant fuzzy regression algorithm [10], and for the cross-classification of thin layer chromatography data [11].…”

Ecosystem discrimination and fingerprinting of Romanian propolis by hierarchical fuzzy clustering and image analysis of TLC patterns

“…In general, a fuzzy divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm with objective function can be formulated as follows [38][39][40][41][42]: let X = {x 1 , . .…”

Classification of Amino Acids by Multivariate Data Analysis, Based on Thermodynamic and Structural Characteristics

“…Here we propose a multivariate data analysis [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] of the amino acids, by principal components analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). PCA helps to reduce the number of variables necessary to describe a system, by maintaining the maximum possible information.…”
