Comparison Approaches of the Fuzzy C-Means and Gaussian Mixture Model in Clustering the Welfare of the Indonesian People
Abstract
We compared the previous study about clustering the welfare of the Indonesian people using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) approach to a recent study, the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Both of which were soft clustering. The case analyzes by classifying 34 provincial data in Indonesia, based on eight welfare of people indicator variables in 2017, which the Central Statistics Agency had issued. We compared the FCM and the GMM approaches to determine a better level of accuracy in clustering data using the Silhouette index, the Davies-Bouldin index, and the Calinski-Harabasz index values as a validity test method. The FCM and GMM methods found that the optimal clusters were 2 and 6. When we observed the consistency of the three tests’ validity results, the GMM method was preferable to the FCM clustering method.
