Penerapan Metode Fuzzy C-Means Pada Pengelompokan Kabupaten/Kota di Pulau Kalimantan Berdasarkan Indikator Kesejahteraan Rakyat Tahun 2020

Abstract

Clustering is a method of grouping data into several clusters or groups so that data in one cluster has a high level of similarity and data between clusters has a low level of similarity. The clustering method used in this research is Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). FCM is a data grouping technique in which the existence of each data point in a cluster is determined by the degree of membership. To optimize the grouping results, it is necessary to validate the number of clusters using Partition Coefficient (PC). The purpose of this study is to obtain optimal grouping results from the FCM method using the PC validity indices from the people's welfare indicator data in 56 regencies/cities on the island of Kalimantan in 2020. Based on the results of the analysis, the conclusion is that the optimal number of clusters is three clusters. The first cluster consists of 24 regencies/cities on the island of Kalimantan, the second cluster consists of 17 regencies/cities on the island of Kalimantan, and the third cluster consists of 15 regencies/cities on the island of Kalimantan.
