In Part I, a generalization of the Fuzzyc-Means (or Fuzzy ISODATA) clustering algorithms is developed. Necessary conditions for minimization of a generalized total weighted squared orthogonal error objective function lead to a Picard iteration scheme which generates simultaneously (i)cfuzzy clusters in the data; (ii) a set ofcprototypical straight lines in feature space which best fit the data in a well-defined sense; (iii) a set ofcprototpyical centers of mass (on theclines) which characterize the “core” of each linear fuzzy cluster. Theoretical optimization is achieved using principal components of generalized within cluster fuzzy scatter matrices. A convergence theorem for each algorithm in the infinite family is given. The algorithms are exemplified by five numerical examples using both real and artificial data sets having essentially “linear” substructure. In Part II, the Fuzzyc-Means and Fuzzyc-Lines algorithms are shown to be special cases of a more general class of fuzzy algorithms, the Fuzzyc-Varieties family, which generate (for prototypes)clinear varieties of arbitrary dimension up to dimension one less than the dimension of the data space. Convex combinations of thec-Varieties algorithms will also be studied in Part II [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 40 (1981), pp. 358–372].
