Fuzzy clusters are structures that represents the

data's degree of pertinence in function of its

distance from the data groups that have some
similarity. This structures are widely used to
infer fuzzy rules from the data, which is
necessary when the system's complexity
exceeds the capability of the human expert to
infer a sufficient number of rules that describes
the cluster's influence in the output of the
system. From this premise, in the context of
training a clustering algorithm, each sample's
pertinence to a cluster, and the associated
output are a pair of characteristic, so the
functions that can be estimated from these
pairs are rules that describes the influence of
that particular cluster on the system's output.
Among the algorithms used to obtain fuzzy
cluster, the evolving algorithms has gained
notoriety due to its learning capacity and
performance in on-line applications. This
paper intends to do a further analysis on the
performance of evolving algorithms in
comparison to other classical approaches using
modern metrics to validate clusters, other than
those that were applied to validate the results
at the time they were published. These modern
metrics have shown better precision in
estimate how well the clustering algorithm can
make consistent clusters, without being
affected by variations solely due to change in
the parameters, as occurs with indices like
partition coefficient, classification entropy and
proportion exponent.
