Abstract

In this paper, four possibilistic clustering methods are proposed. First, we propose two possibilistic clustering methods for spherical data — one based on Shannon entropy, and the other on Tsallis entropy. These methods are derived by subtracting the cosine correlation between an object and a cluster center from 1, to obtain the object-cluster dissimilarity. These methods are derived from the proposed spherical data methods by considering analogies between the spherical and categorical multivariate fuzzy clustering methods, in which the fuzzy methods’ object-cluster similarity calculation is modified to accommodate the proposed possibilistic methods. The validity of the proposed methods is verified through numerical examples.
