Nonparametric Genetic Clustering: Comparison of Validity Indices
Variable string length genetic algorithm (GA) is used for developing a novel nonparametric clustering technique when the number of clusters is not fixed a priori. Chromosomes in the same population may now have different lengths since they encode different number of clusters. The crossover operator is redefined to tackle the concept of variable string length. Cluster validity index is used as a...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Some Clustering Algorithms and Validity Indices
In this article, we evaluate the performance of three clustering algorithms, hard K-Means, single linkage, and a simulated annealing (SA) based technique, in conjunction with four cluster validity indices, namely Davies-Bouldin index, Dunn’s index, Calinski-Harabasz index, and a recently developed index I . Based on a relation between the index I and the Dunn’s index, a lower bound of the value...
متن کاملInvolving Validity Indices in Document Clustering
The goal of any clustering algorithm is to find the optimal clustering solution with the optimal number of clusters. In order to evaluate a clustering solution, a number of validity indices are used during or at the end of a clustering process. They can be internal, external or relative. In this paper, we provide two main contributions: First, we present an experimental study comparing the majo...
متن کاملClustering Validity Indices Evaluation with Regard to Semantic Homogeneity
Clustering validity indices are methods for examining and assessing the quality of data clustering results. Various studies provide a thorough evaluation of their performance using both synthetic and real-world datasets. In this work, we describe various approaches to the topic of evaluation of a clustering scheme. Moreover, a new solution to a problem of selecting an appropriate clustering val...
متن کاملQuantitative Evaluation of Performance and Validity Indices for Clustering the Web Navigational Sessions
Clustering techniques are widely used in “Web Usage Mining” to capture similar interests and trends among users accessing a Web site. For this purpose, web access logs generated at a particular web site are preprocessed to discover the user navigational sessions. Clustering techniques are then applied to group the user session data into user session clusters, where intercluster similarities are...
