Fuzzy clustering in classification using weighted features
This paper proposes a fuzzy classification/regression method based on an extension of classical fuzzy clustering algorithms, by weighting the features during cluster estimation. By translating the importance of each feature using weights, the classifier can lead to better results. The proposed method is applied to target selection, where the goal is to maximize profit obtained from the clients. A real-world application shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach
