Foil 13 A deterministic annealing approach to clustering (Gurewitz and Rose)
From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. byGeoffrey C. Fox
For each data point x there is an energy Ex(j) for its association with the cluster Cj. The probability that x belongs to cluster Cj is:
where Zx is the partition function
and Fx is the free energy
The total free energy is:
