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 \( c_i \).
