Quantitative Analyses and Development of a q-Incrementation Algorithm for FCM with Tsallis Entropy Maximization

Tsallis entropy is a q-parameter extension of Shannon entropy. By extremizing the Tsallis entropy within the framework of fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM), a membership function similar to the statistical mechanical distribution function is obtained. The Tsallis entropy-based DA-FCM algorithm was deve...
