Notes
-----
The algorithm implemented is from Ross et al. [1]_.
Fuzzy C-Means has a known problem with high dimensionality datasets, where
the majority of cluster centers are pulled into the overall center of
gravity. If you are clustering data with very high dimensionality and
encounter this issue, another clustering method may be required. For more
information and the theory behind this, see Winkler et al. [2]_.

Notes
-----
Ross et al. [1]_ did not include a prediction algorithm to go along with
fuzzy c-means. This prediction algorithm works by repeating the clustering
with fixed centers, then efficiently finds the fuzzy membership at all
points.
