Abstract
Some indices of fuzziness are introduced for providing helpful information in fuzzy clustering. These indices play an auxiliary role in fuzzy clustering and can be used for deciding the number of clusters by combining with another criterion. Numerical examples are given for demonstrating how these indices can be applied.
