Fractional Riemannian Fuzzy C-Means with Time-Series Regularization for Economic Manifold Forecasting
Abstract: A fractional Riemannian fuzzy c-means framework is proposed for uncertain economic forecasting on non-Euclidean data domains. Observations are represented on a Riemannian manifold, cluster centres are intrinsic prototypes, and a latent fuzzy regime signal is regularised by both autoregressive and fractional-memory penalties. The resulting objective couples geometric clustering with time-series consistency, thereby discouraging partitions that are locally plausible but temporally incoherent. Closed-form membership updates, exponential-map centre updates, normal equations for …
