ECMdd: Evidential c-medoids clustering with multiple prototypes

作者:

Highlights:

• Extend medoid-based clustering algorithm on the framework of belief functions.

• Introduce imprecise clusters which enable us to make soft decisions for uncertain data.

• Use multiple weighted prototypes to capture various types of class structure.

• Experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed clustering algorithms.
