Hello,

Is there a way to define initial centers for the fuzzy c-means algorithm?

Thank you.

Hi Natasha,

Starting from MATLAB R2023b, Initial estimate for cluster centers can be specified by creating an “fcmOptions” object and setting the “ClusterCenters” property. You can refer to this example in the documentation:

Hope this helps!
