Web Usage Mining Cluster Simulation: K-Means vs Fuzzy C-Means

1. Introduction

In the digital age, the vast amount of data available in datasets has made it impossible for humans to extract the required information without efficient data mining algorithms. Web usage mining (WUM) is a technique that analyzes proxy server log repositories to understand user surfing behavior. It aims to detect website visit patterns, which can help improve website interfaces, predict user requests, and enhance browsing experiences.

The process of web usage mining involves three main steps: preprocessing, detecting probability patterns, and investigating these patterns. This article focuses on a comparative study of two clustering methods, K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means, using p
