Clustering with Principal Component Analysis and Fuzzy Subtractive Clustering Using Membership Function Exponential and Hamming Distance

The problem of dimension reduction in multivariate data is how to obtain a smaller number of variables but still be able to maintain most of the information contained in the data. One method that can be used is principal component analysis (PCA). Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to reduce the dimensions of data consisting of several dependent variables while maintaining the variance in the data. PCA can be used to stabilize measurements in statistical analysis, one of which is cluster analysis. Fuzzy clustering is a method of grouping based on membership values that include fuzzy sets as a basis for weighting for grouping. One method of fuzzy clustering is Fuzzy Subtractive Clustering (FSC). The method used in this study is PCA and FSC. The purpose of this study is to compare the most optimal cluster results using PCAFSC and FSC methods. The results obtained indicate that the clustering using the PCAFSC method is better than the FSC method.
