How are clustering algorithms evaluated?
Here is a list, but need to explore further. I am not sure how this works if the distance measure is bad.
- Dunn’s Index
- Davies-Boldin’s Index
- Partition Coefficient
- Classification Entropy
- Seperation Index
- Fuzzy Hypervolume
- CS Index
- Calinsky-Harbnasz Index
- I-Index
A good reference is A new index of cluster validity. Also look at Performance evaluation of some Clustering Algorithms and Validity Indices and A new cluster validity index for the fuzzy c-mean
