K-medoids algorithm is one of the most prominent techniques, as a partitioning clustering algorithm, in data mining and knowledge discovery applications. However, the determined numbers of cluster as an input and the impact of initial value of cluster centers on clusters' quality are the two major challenges of this algorithm. In this paper an improved version of fuzzy k-medoids algorithm has been...
