We propose simultaneously applying homogeneity analysis and fuzzy clustering that simultaneously partitions individuals and items in categorical multivariate datasets. This objective function includes two types of memberships. One is conventional membership representing the degree of membership of each individual in each cluster. The other is an additional parameter that represents typicality of item. A numerical experiment demonstrates that our proposal is useful in quantifying categorical data, taking the typicality of each item into account.

This paper proposes a clustering algorithm that performs FCM-type clustering of datasets including categorical data. The proposed algorithm iterates categorical data quantification in FCE clustering so that quantified scores suit the current fuzzy partition. The objective function is the linear combination of two cost functions, i.e., the objective function of FCE clustering and the clustering criterion of quantified category scores. Because quantified category scores are assigned considering the relationship among categories, they are useful for interpreting the cluster structure.
