The aim of this book is to illustrate that advanced fuzzy clustering algorithms can be used not only for partitioning of the data. It can also be used for visualization, regression, classification and time-series analysis, hence fuzzy cluster analysis is a good approach to solve complex data mining and system identification problems. This book is oriented to undergraduate and postgraduate and is well suited for teaching purposes.

Dataclusteringisacommontechniqueforstatisticaldataanalysis,whichisusedin many ?elds, including machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, image analysis and bioinformatics. Clustering is the classi?cation of similar objects into di?erent groups, or more precisely, the partitioning of a data set into subsets (clusters), so that the data in each subset (ideally) share some common trait ? often proximity according to some de?ned distance measure. The aim of this book is to illustrate that advanced fuzzy clustering algorithms can be used not only for partitioning of the data, but it can be used for visuali- tion,regression,classi?cationandtime-seriesanalysis,hence fuzzy cluster analysis is a good approach to solve complex data mining and system identi?cation pr- lems. Overview In the last decade the amount of the stored data has rapidly increased related to almost all areas of life. The most recent survey was given by Berkeley University of California about the amount of data. According to that, data produced in 2002 and stored in pressed media, ?lms and electronics devices only are about 5 - abytes. For comparison, if all the 17 million volumes of Library of Congress of the UnitedStatesofAmericaweredigitalized,itwouldbeabout136terabytes. Hence, 5 exabytes is about 37,000 Library of Congress. If this data mass is projected into 6. 3 billion inhabitants of the Earth, then it roughly means that each contem- rary generates 800 megabytes of data every year. It is interesting to compare this amount with Shakespeare’s life-work, which can be stored even in 5 megabytes.

New feature

This book presents new approaches to data mining and system identification. Algorithms that can be used for the clustering of data have been overviewed. New techniques and tools are presented for the clustering, classification, regression and visualization of complex datasets. Special attention is given to the analysis of historical process data, tailored algorithms are presented for the data driven modeling of dynamical systems, determining the model order of nonlinear input-output black box models, and the segmentation of multivariate time-series. The main methods and techniques are illustrated through several simulated and real-world applications from data mining and process engineering practice.

The book is aimed primarily at practitioners, researches, and professionals in statistics, data mining, business intelligence, and systems engineering, but it is also accessible to graduate and undergraduate students in applied mathematics, computer science, electrical and process engineering. Familiarity with the basics of system identification and fuzzy systems is helpful but not required.

Key features:

- Detailed overview of the most powerful algorithms and approaches for data mining and system identification is presented.

- Extensive references give a good overview of the current state of the application of computational intelligence in data mining and system identification, and suggest further reading for additional research.

- Numerous illustrations to facilitate the understanding of ideas and methods presented.

- Supporting MATLAB files, available at the website www.fmt.uni-pannon.hu/softcomp create a computational platform for exploration and illustration of many concepts and algorithms presented in the book.
