Error when using more than 100 clusters

Hello,

I am trying to perform clustering with 300 clusters but I am getting an error. Is it possible to increase the maximum number of clusters?

Thank you, Shahvaiz Hanif

Hi @shahvaiz. Thank you for being interested in the fuzzy-c-means library.

To modify the maximum limit on the number of clusters, you can define it after creating the fcm object.

Try to use the following snippet before model fit:

fcm = FCM()
fcm.n_clusters = 300

I hope it helps you.

Note: Be careful when using Fuzzy C-means algorithm in high dimensions. In these cases, the distances become very similar, which compromises the fit of the model. For more details check this paper.
