A Novel Validity Index for Determination of the Optimal Number of Clusters
Summary :
The structural characteristics of clusters are investigated in the partitioning process. Two partition functions, which show opposite properties around the optimal cluster number, are found and a new cluster validity index is presented based on the combination of these functions. Some properties of the index function are discussed and numerical examples are presented.
