In this paper, a new dynamic Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Dependent Dirichlet Piecewise Regression Mixture (IT2FDDPRM) clustering model is proposed. The model overcomes shortcomings of both Dependent Dirichlet Process Mixture (DDPM) technique and Interval Type-2 Fuzzy C-regression Clustering Model (IT2FCRM). DDPM method demonstrates that the probability of assigning data to a cluster including the maximum number of data among all clusters is higher, and it ignores the similarity of data to a cluster. However, the new IT2FDDPRM clustering technique supports assignment of data to a cluster which has the most similarity to them. It also allows the model to generate infinite number of clusters. Moreover, it has the capability of segmenting functions assigned to clusters. The model is validated using statistical tests, three validity functions, and mean square error of the model. The results of numerical experiments show that the proposed method has superior performance to other clustering techniques in literature.
