Bagged ensemble of Fuzzy C-Means classifiers for nuclear transient identification

► A bagged ensemble of classifiers is applied for nuclear transient identification. ► Fuzzy C-Means classifiers are used as base classifiers of the ensemble. ► Transients are simulated in the feedwater system of a boiling water reactor. ► Ensemble is compared with a supervised, evolutionary-optimized FCM classifier. ► Ensemble improves classification accuracy in cases of large or very small sizes data.
