Abstract: DKIFCM (Density Based Kernelized Intuitionistic Fuzzy C Means) is the new proposed clustering algorithm that is based on outlier identification, kernel functions, and intuitionist fuzzy approach. DKIFCM is an inspiration from Kernelized Intuitionistic Fuzzy C Means (KIFCM) algorithm and it addresses the performance issue in the presence of outliers. It first identifies outliers based on density of data and then clusters are computed accurately by mapping the data to high dimensional feature space. Performance and effectiveness of various algorithms are evaluated on synthetic 2D data sets such as Diamond data set (D10, D12, and D15), and noisy Dunn data set as well as on high dimension real-world data set such as Fisher-Iris, Wine, and Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data-set. Results of DKIFCM are compared with results of other algorithms such as Fuzzy-C-Means (FCM), Intuitionistic FCM (IFCM), Kernel-Intuitionistic FCM (KIFCM), and density-oriented FCM (DOFCM), and the performance of proposed algorithm is found to be superior even in the presence of outliers and noise. Key advantages of DKIFCM are outlier identification, robustness to noise, and accurate centroid computation.
