Abstract
- While granular computing has experienced rapid growth in the past decades and some milestones have been reached, a comprehensive study of the representation capabilities delivered by numeric prototypes and granular prototypes produced by different techniques still calls for comprehensive research and a comparative analysis. Well-constructed information granules are reflective of the nature of the numeric evidence and serve as backbones of granular classifiers and granular models. The objective of this study is to review a number of clustering paradigms aimed at the construction of information granules, discuss the development of granular prototypes, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of quality of numeric prototypes and their corresponding augmentations coming in the form of granular prototypes. We have been witnessing many studies devoted to the construction of information granules, but a comparative analysis of the quality of information granules constructed on a basis of prototypes produced by different clustering algorithms is still lacking. In this regard, the review of the clustering algorithms supporting the formation of information granules and the comprehensive comparative study of their usefulness in classification and modeling tasks offered in this study make sense. This will promote the usage of information granules in various future works, especially classification problem and system modeling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
