The general problem of data clustering is concerned with the discovery of a grouping
structure within a finite number of data points. Fuzzy Clustering algorithms provide
a fuzzy description of the discovered structure. The main advantage of this description
is that it captures the imprecision encountered when describing real-life data.
Thus, the user is provided with more information about the structure in the data compared
to a crisp, non-fuzzy scheme.
