The Fundamental Clustering Problems Suite (FCPS) provides a set of clustering problems that an algorithm should be able to solve in order to be rightly called a clustering algorithm. FCPS can thus be regarded as an elementary benchmark for clustering algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FCPS contains data sets with known classification, which should be reproduced by the cluster algorithm. The data sets are deliberately kept simple and can be visualized in 2-3 dimensions. Each data set represents a specific problem, which is solved differently by known cluster algorithms. This allows the strengths and weaknesses of the algorithms to be identified. Standard clustering methods, such as single-linkage, Ward and k-means, are not able to solve all FCPS problems satisfactorily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
