IExternalEvaluationCriterionTInstance, TClass Interface | |
Represents an interface for external criteria to evaluate how well the result of
AgglomerativeClusteringAlgorithmTInstance matches the classification of instances according to a set of gold
standard classes. We can think of this as supervised clustering evaluation methods, i.e., external validation
methods.
Namespace: Aglomera.Evaluation.External
Assembly: Aglomera (in Aglomera.dll) Version: 1.1.0
SyntaxC#
public interface IExternalEvaluationCriterion<TInstance, TClass> where TInstance : Object, IComparable<TInstance>
Type Parameters
- TInstance
- The type of instance considered.
- TClass
- The type of class considered.
The IExternalEvaluationCriterionTInstance, TClass type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Evaluate |
Evaluates a given ClusterSetTInstance partition according to the given class partition.
|
Remarks
These methods are useful for when we have some known partition over the instances and want to evaluate the quality
of the clustering according to that partition. It can also be used to select the most appropriate
ILinkageCriterionTInstance for a given annotated data-set.
