K-EVCLUS: Clustering large dissimilarity data in the belief function framework

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. In evidential clustering, the membership of objects to clusters is considered to be uncertain and is represented by mass functions, forming a credal partition. The EVCLUS algorithm constructs a credal partition in such a way that larger dissimila...
