Abstract:In order to solve switching regression problems, many approaches have been investigated. In this paper, anintegrated fuzzy clustering algorithm GFC that combines gravity-based clustering algorithm GC with fuzzy clustering is presented. GC, as a new hard clustering algorithm presented here, is based on the well-known Newton's Gravity Law. The theoretic analysis shows that GFC can conve rge to a local minimum of the object function. Experimental results show that GFC for switching regression problems has better performance than standard fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially in terms of convergence speed.
