Other Distinctions Between Sets of Clusters

$$ Exclusive versus non$-$exclusive$$ In non$-$exclusive clusterings, points may belong to multiple

clusters.

$$ Can belong to multiple classes or could be $$border$$ points

$$ Fuzzy clustering $($one type of non$-$exclusive$)$ In fuzzy clustering, a point belongs to every cluster with some

weight between $0$ and $1$ Weights must sum to $1$ Probabilistic clustering has similar characteristics

$$ Partial versus complete$$ In some cases, we only want to cluster some of the data
