Hybrid chemical reaction based metaheuristic with fuzzy c-means algorithm for optimal cluster analysis

作者：

Highlights：

• A new hybrid method of FCM and CRO algorithm is proposed for optimal cluster analysis.

• The performance of CRO-FCM is compared with evolutionary & swarm based methods.

• Performance metrics like rate of error, inter & intra cluster distance are considered.
