Fuzzy cluster analysis uses membership degrees to assign data objects to clusters in order to better handle ambiguous data that share properties of different clusters. However, the introduction of membership degrees requires a new parameter called fuzzifier. In this paper the good and bad effects of the fuzzifier on the clustering results are analysed and based on these considerations a more general approach to fuzzy clustering is proposed, providing better control on the membership degrees and their influence in fuzzy cluster analysis.
