Calculates Rousseeuw's Silhouette internal cluster quality index
index.S(d,cl,singleObject=0)
d |
'dist' object |
cl |
A vector of integers indicating the cluster to which each object is allocated |
singleObject |
0 - s(i)=0 or 1 - s(i)=1. When cluster contains a single object, it is unclear how a(i) of Silhouette index should be defined (see Kaufman & Rousseeuw (1990), p. 85). |
