A Criterion for Determining the Number of Clusters
Lili Hao, Lizhu Hao · 东北数学：英文版 · 2008
Aiming to provide an appropriate number K of clusters, in this paper, we propose a new criterion function-H criterion function, whose three properties have also been proved. We validate the performance of the H criterion function on one artificial dataset and three real-world datasets, and the results are almostly consistent with a previous method. The nonparametric criterion we proposed is intuitive, simple and the computational cost is acceptable.
