Optimasi Cluster Pada Fuzzy C-Means Menggunakan Algoritma Genetika Untuk Menentukan Nilai Akhir

摘要

The final grade of students could be determined in various ways, some of which use a range of values, deviation standard, etc. In this study will be offered a new method for determining final grades of students by using the clustering method. In this research the clustering method that will be used is the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). Fuzzy C-Means is used to group a number of data in multiple clusters. Each data has a degree of membership (the range value of membership degree is 0-1). Membership degree is measured through the objective function. In Fuzzy C-Means,? objective function is minimized by using iteration and is usually trapped in a local optimum. Genetic algorithm is expected to handle these problems. The operation of genetic algorithm based on evolution that is able to find the best individuals through genetic operations (selection, crossover and mutation) and evaluated based on fitness values. This research aims to optimize the cluster center point of FCM by using genetic algorithms. The result of this research shows that by combining the Genetic Algorithm with FCM could obtained a smaller objective function than using FCM, although it takes longer in execution time. Although the difference of objective function that produced by FCM and FCM-Genetic Algorithm combination is not too big each other, but it takes effect on the cluster members. ?.
