Reinterpreting the category utility function
DOI:10.1023/A:1010924920739.png)
Abstract
En 中文
The category utility function is a partition quality scoring function applied in some clustering programs of machine learning. We reinterpret this function in terms of the data variance explained by a clustering, or, equivalently, in terms of the square-error classical clustering criterion that administers the K-Means and Ward methods. This analysis suggests extensions of the scoring function to situations with differently standardized and mixed scale data.
