Automatic clustering by multi-objective genetic algorithm with numeric and categorical features

作者:

Highlights:

• We have developed a clustering algorithm for an unknown number of clusters by MOGA.

• It works with continuous and categorical featured data sets.

• It can work with data sets having missing values.

• The final solution is selected by majority vote by all non-dominated solutions.

• Context-sensitive and cluster-orient genetic operators are designed.
