Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Learner

A LearnerClust for fuzzy clustering implemented in e1071::cmeans(). e1071::cmeans() doesn't have a default value for the number of clusters. Therefore, the centers parameter here is set to 2 by default. The predict method uses clue::cl_predict() to compute the cluster memberships for new data.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("clust.cmeans")
lrn("clust.cmeans")
