Abstract
A heuristic method for the data clustering problem includes a greedy algorithm, which selects the centroids of well-separated clusters, and a single-solution-based heuristic, which performs clustering with the objective of optimizing a cluster validity index. The attributes of the centroids of clusters are genes and a fitness is determined for each gene. A mutation operation changes the values of the genes of low fitness values and creates a mutant solution. The values of genes of the mutant can replace the values of the genes of the parent if they are better than the genes of the parent. Diversification in the search process is maintained by allowing, with a small probability, the genes of the mutant to replace the genes of the parent even if they are not better than them.
