Resumo
This paper proposes the Fuzzy Particle Swarm Clustering (FPSC) algorithm, which is an extension of the crisp data clustering algorithm PSC particularly tailored to deal with fuzzy clusters. The main structural changes of the original PSC algorithm to design FPSC occurred in the selection and evaluation steps of the winner particle, comparing the degree of membership of each object from the database in relation to the particles in the swarm. The FPSC algorithm was applied to eight databases from the literature with the purpose of benchmarking and its performance was compared with that of Fuzzy C-Means and Fuzzy PSO. The results showed that the FPSC algorithm is competitive with the algorithms discussed in this paper. © 2011 IEEE.
