✦ Synopsis
A fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is presented which is much faster than the traditional algorithm for data sets in which the number of features is significantly larger than the number of feature vectors. The algorithm is constructed by utilizing the covariance structure of feature vectors and cluster centers. By using results from a previous clustering, modified versions of the new algorithm achieve additional reductions in floating point operations.

Parameter selection is a well-known problem in the fuzzy clustering community. In this paper, we propose to tackle this problem using a computationally intensive approach. We apply this approach to a new method for clustering recently introduced in the literature. It is the fuzzy c-means with tolera
