Clustering using Flying Foxes Optimization Algorithm

Flying Foxes Optimization Algorithm for clustering

This simplified Matlab demo code shows how to use the new Flying Foxes Optimization Algorithm to solve clustering problems.

The only thing researchers need to do is to replace the data in "mydata.xlsx" with their data, and then run the FFOclustering.m file in the Matlab platform.

Researchers are allowed to use this code in their research projects,
