We studied the statistical mechanical characteristics of fuzzy clustering regularized with fuzzy entropy. We obtained Fermi-Dirac distribution as a membership function by regularizing the fuzzy c-means with fuzzy entropy. We then formulated it as direct annealing clustering, and determined the meanings of the Fermi-Dirac function and fuzzy entropy from the statistical mechanical point of view, and showed that this fuzzy clustering is a part of Fermi-Dirac statistics. We also derived the critical temperature at which phase transition occurs in this fuzzy clustering. Then, with a combination of cluster divisions by phase transitions and an adequate division termination condition, we derived fuzzy clustering that automatically determined the number of clusters, as verified by numerical experiments.
