Abstract
In recent academic researches and applications, fuzzy clustering theory is used to classify concepts which state uncertainty. In clustering studies, if there is an uncertainty in determining clusters or cluster memberships of some objects, it would be better to use fuzzy clustering approach. Furthermore, Fuzzy Clustering Analysis differ from other statistical analysis as flexible structure, more practical and not based on any assumption. As a result of that, modelling and even copying of many systems with the help of fuzzy systems have been caused considerable development in our lives as well as in scientific field. In this study, considering the all advantages of fuzzy clustering analysis, the companies operating in the Aegean region of KOSGEB with different scales are classified. The data obtained according to the criteria determined by KOSGEB are used. Classification is made by three different scales using fuzzy clustering methods. Fuzzy inference system has been created to provide convenience for applications of fuzzy modelling structure and fuzzy clustering algorithms. For classification analysis in this study were obtained a more flexible model. Also it is intended to provide opportunity of quick analysis and evaluation to researchers and practitioners through a software created using MATLAB.
