MATLAB Source Code for Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Improved by Genetic Algorithm
The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm tends to converge to local minima. To overcome this limitation, we integrate genetic algorithms into the FCM optimization process. The genetic algorithm generates initial cluster centers, which are then refined using the standard FCM algorithm to achieve optimal classification results. This implementation features chromosome encoding for cluster centers, fitness evaluation using FCM objective functions, and iterative population evolution.
