Abstract: Although there have been many researches in cluster
analysis to consider on feature weights, little effort is made on sample
weights. Recently, Yu et al. (2011) considered a probability
distribution over a data set to represent its sample weights and then
proposed sample-weighted clustering algorithms. In this paper, we
give a sample-weighted version of generalized fuzzy clustering
regularization (GFCR), called the sample-weighted GFCR
(SW-GFCR). Some experiments are considered. These experimental
results and comparisons demonstrate that the proposed SW-GFCR is
more effective than the most clustering algorithms.
