L$${}_ 1$$-norm based fuzzy clustering. (English) Zbl 0714.62052
The presented fuzzy clustering problem uses the distance between observations and location parameter vectors, which is based on the $$L_ 1$$-norm, instead of the inner product induced norm used in classical fuzzy ISODATA. Two alternative methods to solve the $$L_ 1$$ fuzzy clustering problem are derived.
