IInternalEvaluationCriterionTInstance Interface | |
Represents an interface for criteria which uses the internal information resulting from a
AgglomerativeClusteringAlgorithmTInstance process to evaluate the goodness of a clustering structure without
reference to external information.
Implementations should be created so that when the criterion is maximized for a given
ClusteringResultTInstance's partition scheme, it provides the best
ClusterSetTInstance according to that criterion.
Namespace: Aglomera.Evaluation.Internal
Assembly: Aglomera (in Aglomera.dll) Version: 1.1.0
SyntaxC#
public interface IInternalEvaluationCriterion<TInstance> where TInstance : Object, IComparable<TInstance>
Type Parameters
- TInstance
- The type of instance considered.
The IInternalEvaluationCriterionTInstance type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DissimilarityMetric |
Gets the metric used by this criterion to measure the dissimilarity / distance between cluster elements.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Evaluate |
Evaluates the given ClusterSetTInstance partition according to this evaluation criterion.
|
Remarks
These methods are useful for estimating the number of clusters to group data after executing the clustering
algorithm without any external data.
