Immunodomaince based clonal selection clustering algorithm

Based on clonal selection principle and the immunodominance theory, a new immune clustering algorithm, Immunodomaince based Clonal Selection Clustering Algorithm (ICSCA) is proposed in this paper. An immunodomaince operator is introduced to the clonal selection algorithm, which can realize on-line gaining prior knowledge and sharing information among different antibodies. The proposed method has been extensively compared with Fuzzy C-means (FCM), Genetic Algorithm based FCM (GAFCM) and Clonal Selection Algorithm based FCM (CSAFCM) over a test suit of several real life datasets and synthetic datasets. The result of experiment indicates the superiority of the ICSCA over FCM, GAFCM and CSAFCM on stability and reliability for its ability to avoid trapping in local optimum.
