Is there a way to change the initial parameters of the Fuzzy-C-Mean algorithm in MATLAB?

04 April 2014 1 651 Report

Do we need some time to make FCM starts with an initial cluster values? Normally, FCM starts with input data to cluster and the number of clusters.

I do not think that one can define the initial guesses for center of clusters in matlab built-in function FCM. One can run the FCM a number of times and save the best result.
