Abstract

In this paper, we unify several alternative FCM algorithms, including the FCM, PFCM, CFCM, PIM, ICS, etc, into one model, called a generalized fuzzy c-means (GFCM). This GFCM model presents a wide variation of FCM algorithms. We discover that the pseudo mass center of the data set is the fixed point of the GFCM under mild conditions. By judging the stability of the fixed point of the GFCM, we give a new approach to theoretically choosing the parameters in the GFCM model.
