Different Types of Clustering

Cited from Cluster Analysis: Basic Concepts and Algorithms

Exclusive vs overlapping vs fuzzy
Exclusive: each object is assigned to a single cluster;
Overlapping: an object can be simultaneously assigned to more than one cluster;
Fuzzy: every object belongs to every cluster with a membership weight that is between 0 (doesn't belong) and 1 (absolutely belongs).

Complete vs partial
Complete: every object is assigned to a cluster;
Partial: not every object is assigned to a cluster.
