Improving Attenuation Correction In Hybrid Positron Emission to mography
… registration algorithm based on a modified fuzzy c-means clustering method and gradient correlation was developed and validated to perform automatic registration in cardiac PET/CT data of different breathing protocols. A free- breathing MR protocol and post-process algorithm were developed …

Exploratory Study of Fuzzy Clustering and Set-Distance Based Validation Indexes
This thesis is concerned with issues related to clustering. In particular, it addresses the con-vergence speed of fuzzy c-means family of algorithms and cluster validation. The fuzzy c-meansclustering algorithm and its objective function is studied along with a literature review of thespeed of …

Urban computing using call detail records : mobility pattern mining, next-location prediction and location recommendation
… 3) and infer home and workplaces using K-means Clustering and Fuzzy C-means Clustering. The proposed method was implemented on MIT Reality Mining data, by which we demonstrate that with inference rates of 56% and 82%, the method can improve 79% and 34% in accuracy respectively in home and …

Neighbourhood profiling and classification for community safety
… The final partition was created using the fuzzy c-means clustering technique, but alternative techniques were also employed and levels of agreement between the different results were measured. The design process also involved measuring the ability of different partitions to discriminate …

Flow pattern mapping of horizontal evaporating refrigerant flow based on capacitive void fraction measurements
… were analyzed in combination with the use of the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. The clustering in the selected feature space, groups the data points in clearly separable areas in a flow pattern map. Applying the technique to the HFC datasets, the slug flows could be easily separated from …

Construction of efficient indexes from Fuzzy Clusters: preliminary study
… machine learning, there is a method of so-called clustering analysis. This method identifies a partition (i.e. a collection of classes or clusters) over data corresponding to their density. The thesis generally hypothesizes that a result of clustering analysis strongly corresponds to the optimal …

The use of reflectance classification for chlorophyll algorithm application across multiple optical water types in South African coastal waters
… wide range of water types. The assessment of the fuzzy membership of satellite remote sensing reflectance (Rᵣₛ) to pre-defined regional optical water types (OWTs) provides a framework for application and blending of OWT-appropriate algorithms on a per-pixel basis. This study presents the first …

Module-based Analysis of Biological Data for Network Inference and Biomarker Discovery
… data analysis. For the purpose of evaluating clustering algorithms from a biological point of view, we propose a figure of merit based on Kullback-Leibler divergence between cluster membership and known gene ontology attributes. Several benchmark expression-based gene clustering algorithms are …
