Abstract

Among widely used kernel functions, such as support vector machines, in data analysis, the Gaussian kernel is most often used. This kernel arises in entropy-based fuzzy c-means clustering. There is reason, however, to check whether other types of functions used in fuzzy c-means are also kernels. Using completely monotone functions, we show they can be kernels if a regularization constant proposed by Ichihashi is introduced. We also show how these kernel functions are applied to kernel-based fuzzy c-means clustering, which outperform the Gaussian kernel in a typical example.
