Abstract :

The Socio–Economic status is referred as “use of economics in the study of society”. It is a combined measure of person’s Income, Health, Education and Community in the society. The planning commission has periodically estimated the poverty line and poverty ratios. According to this, the Below Poverty Line (BPL) data of two districts in south Tamil Nadu are taken in account. In this paper, the model based clustering algorithm is used to classifying and identifying the corresponding components of the observations. The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is fitted to this data, the number of components and the parameters are estimated through EM–algorithm. The fuzzy logic is also used to classifying the observation into linguistic values.
