eng Abstract:
The paper deals with a special class of cluster analysis methods where a membership degree is calculated for each object and each cluster. These methods are investigated under the name fuzzy cluster analysis. We present some emerging topics in this area, such as relation fuzzy clustering, soft clusters ensembles, similarity of fuzzy clusters, visualization of clustering results, simultaneous clustering and feature discrimination, and techniques for cluster number determination. Some tasks are illustrated by clustering of binary variables.
