Fuzzy Linkage: A New Hierarchical Clustering Fuzzy Algorithm

This paper presents a new approach to cluster Fuzzy number using hierarchical method namely Fuzzy Linkage (FL). In this way a Dendrogram is drawn over fuzzy numbers until we could cluster fuzzy numbers using hierarchical cluster tree with inconsistency coefficient or other useful measure. Almost,similar methods extended FCM (Fuzzy Clustering Method) to support fuzzy data. But the present work is based on hierarchicalmethod. Finally we compared this method with some of the new presented methods
