Detailed Description

Calculates the Davies Bouldin Index of the given clustering.

If different clustering, e.a. with different number of clusters, of the same data set are tested, the best will be the clustering with the minimal Davies Bouldin Index.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool lti::daviesBouldinIndex::apply	(	const std::vector< dmatrix > &	clusteredData,
		double &	index,
		const dmatrix &	centroids
	)			const [virtual]

calculates the Davies Bouldin Index of the clustered data.

Parameters:

	clusteredData	std::vector<dmatrix> with the source data.
	index	the clustering validity result
	centroids	dmatrix with each row representing a centroid of the corresponding distribution in clusteredData

Returns:

true if apply successful or false otherwise.

Implements lti::clusteringValidity.
