This note addresses fuzzy cluster analysis of conical fuzzy vector data. A
fuzzy vector represents fuzzy data in a high dimension. In this note a robu
st type of fuzzy clustering algorithm with a noise cluster is proposed. The
proposed algorithm is robust with respect to noise and can also detect out
liers for conical fuzzy vector data. Finally, some numerical examples are p
resented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
