Abstract:
Using fuzzy c-means as the data-mining tool, this study evaluates the effectiveness of sampling methods in producing the knowledge of interest. The effectiveness is shown in terms of the representative-ness of sampling data and the accuracy as well as errors of sampled data when subjected to the fuzzy clustering algorithm. Two data sets in the weld inspection domain were used for the evaluation. Based on the results obtained, a number of observations are made.
