Abstract

This paper deals with statistical mechanical characteristics of fuzzy clustering regularized with fuzzy entropy. We obtain the Fermi-Dirac distribution function as a membership function by regularizing the fuzzy c-means with fuzzy entropy. Then we formulate it as a direct annealing clustering, and examine the meanings of Fermi-Dirac function and fuzzy entropy from a statistical mechanical point of view, and show that this fuzzy clustering method is none other than the Fermi-Dirac statistics.
