Abstract
Tsallis entropy is a one parameter(q) extension of the Shannon entropy. The fuzzy c-means method regularized with the Tsallis entropy has been proposed by Yasuda et al. In this method,however,how to determine the q value is not clear. The q value can be determined by examining an extent of cluster distribution, because it strongly depends on the q value. Accordingly, in this research, we propose a method that makes a specific q value to correspond to each cluster. Each q value determines the extent of its cluster. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is more effective than the Tsallis entropy regularization method.
