Abstract

Fuzzy clustering is a useful tool for capturing intrinsic structure of data sets. This paper proposes several formulations for soft transition of fuzzy memberships from probabilistic partition to possibilistic one. In the proposed techniques, the free memberships are given by introducing additional penalty term used in Possibilistic c-Means. The new features of the proposed techniques are demonstrated in several numerical experiments.
