Abstract:In this short communication, based on Renyi entropy measure, a new Renyi information based clustering algorithm A is presented. Algorithm A and the wellknown fuzzy clustering algorithm FCM have the same clustering track. This fact builds the very bridge between probabilistic clustering and fuzzy clustering, and fruitful research results on Renyi entropy measure may help us to further understand the essence of fuzzy clustering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
