Fuzzy Knowledge-Based Subspace Clustering for Life Science Data Analysis

• Features or attributes play an important role when handling multi-dimensional datasets. Generally, not all the features are needed to find several groups of similar objects in traditional clustering methods because some of the features may not be relevant and also redundant. Hence, the concept of identifying subsets of the features that are relevant to clusters is introduced, instead of using the full set of features. This chapter discusses the use of the prior knowledge of the importance of features and their interaction in constructing both fuzzy measures and signed fuzzy measures for subspace clustering. The Choquet integral, which is known as a useful aggregation operator with respect to fuzzy measure, is used to aggregate the importance and interaction of the features. The concept of fuzzy knowledge-based subspace clustering is applied especially to the analysis of life science data in this chapter.
