Similarity Measures and Weighted Fuzzy C-Mean Clustering Algorithm

In this paper we study the fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm
combined with principal components method. Demonstratively
analysis indicate that the new clustering method is well rather than
some clustering algorithms. We also consider the validity of clustering
method.
