Segregation indices for disease clustering.
Spatial clustering has important implications in various fields. In particular, disease clustering is of major public concern in epidemiology. In this article, we propose the use of two distance-based segregation indices to test the significance of disease clustering among subjects whose locations are from a homogeneous or an inhomogeneous population. We derive the asymptotic distributions of t...
متن کاملA comparison of clustering quality indices using outliers and noise
Quality indices in clustering are used not only to assess the quality of the partitions but also to determine the number of clusters in the final result. When these indices are evaluated in a case study, real data conditions or different clustering algorithms are seldom taken into account. Here, some of the standard indices used in the literature are compared using more realistic databases that...
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 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 کاملA Practical Study on Quality Evaluation for Age Recognition Systems
Face recognition system is a widely-used intelligent application nowadays. Existing recognition system evaluation methods primarily focus on recognition rate, i.e., the correct result. However, current research seldom focuses on the quality evaluation of face recognition systems. They seldom consider accuracy or the quality of recognition. To address this issue, this paper proposes several qual...
