Abstract

In this paper, we compare several recent robust fuzzy clustering methods, and show their equivalence in terms of their connection to techniques in robust statistics. In particular, we establish a connection between fuzzy set theory (as used in robust fuzzy clustering methods) and robust statistics, and point out the similarities between robust clustering methods and statistical methods such as the M-estimator. We also give qualitative and quantitative equivalence of the robust fuzzy clustering techniques with M-estimator.
