Class SumOfClusterVariances<T extends Clusterable>

java.lang.Object

org.hipparchus.clustering.evaluation.ClusterEvaluator<T>

org.hipparchus.clustering.evaluation.SumOfClusterVariances<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the clustered points

public class SumOfClusterVariances<T extends Clusterable>
extends ClusterEvaluator<T>

Computes the sum of intra-cluster distance variances according to the formula: \] score = \sum\limits_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^2 \] where n is the number of clusters and \( \sigma_i^2 \) is the variance of intra-cluster distances of cluster \( c_i \).
