Abstract

In evidential clustering, uncertainty about the assignment of objects to clusters is represented by Dempster-Shafer mass functions. The resulting clustering structure, called a credal partition, is shown to be more general than hard, fuzzy, possibility and rough partitions, which are recovered as special cases. Three algorithms to generate a credal partition are reviewed. Each of these algorithms is shown to implement a decision-directed clustering strategy. Their relative merits are discussed.
