摘要
In this paper a new cluster validity index is introduced, which assesses the average compactness and separation of fuzzy partitions generated by the fuzzy c-means algorithm. To compare the performance of this new index with a number of known validation indices, the fuzzy partitioning of two data sets was carried aut. Our validation performed favorably in all studies, even in those where other validity indices failed to indicate the true number of clusters within each data set. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
