I have a problem in FCM. i want it to be AUTO CLUSTERING instead of setting the value of 'C'?. This is a normal FCM code that need manually set the C: options = [NaN 100 0.001 0]; [centers,U,objFun] = fcm(data,3,options);

Yes, I know exactly how to get the best possible results in that situation: set the number of clusters to the number of unique points. Every cluster will then contain exactly one point (and any duplicates of it), which will always give you the best possible fitting, with no fitting error at all.

The following does the best possible clustering without specifying the number of clusters in advance:
[cluster_centers, ~, cluster_idx] = unique(YourInputMatrix, 'rows');
That is the entire code. Every unique row becomes its own cluster.
The error in cluster assignment is provably 0.
