One of the most widely used fuzzy clustering algorithms is the Fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) Algorithm. Fuzzy logic principles can be used to cluster multidimensional data, assigning each point a membership in each cluster center from 0 to 100 percent. This can be very powerful compared to traditional hard-thresholded clustering where every point is assigned a crisp, exact label.

The fuzzy c-means algorithm is very similar to the k-means algorithm:

1. Choose a number of clusters.
2. Assign coefficients randomly to each data point for being in the clusters.
3. Repeat until the algorithm has converged (that is, the coefficients' change between two iterations is no more than E, the given sensitivity threshold) :
   1. Compute the centroid for each cluster.
   2. For each data point, compute its coefficients of being in the clusters.
