Description

I would like to add a FCM (Fuzzy C-Means) algorithm to MLlib.

FCM is very similar to K - Means which is already implemented, and they differ only in the degree of relationship each point has with each cluster:
(in FCM the relationship is in a range of [0..1] whether in K - Means its 0/1.

As part of the implementation I would like:

• create a base class for K- Means and FCM
• implement the relationship for each algorithm differently (in its class)

I'd like this to be assigned to me.
