Abstract:
The important approaches to statistical and fuzzy clustering are reviewed and compared, and their applications to an agricultural problem based on a real-world data are investigated. The methods employed in this study includes some hierarchical clustering and non-hierarchical clustering methods and Fuzzy C-Means method. As a case study, these methods are then applied to cluster 15 provinces of Iraq based on some agricultural crops. Finally, a comparative and evaluation study of different statistical and fuzzy clustering methods is performed. The obtained results showed that, based on the Silhouette criterion and Xie-Beni index, fuzzy c-means method is the best one among all reviewed methods
