Description:
GOI provides a set of indices for absolute cluster validation and for the interpretation of the dataset context based on geometrical properties of the multidimensional data. In addition to cluster masses, inter- and intra-cluster distances, GOI comprises global (G) and individual (oi) overlap indices, density evaluations, cluster multimodality detection and cluster kinship recognition.
Software, scripts, tools:
GOI indices are implemented within the CVTbed v1.0 (Testbed for Cluster Validation) for the MATLAB environment. CVTbed v1.0 can be downloaded from the GOI GitHub repository. Some functions require the creation of synthetic datasets with MDCGen, which can be downloaded from the MDCGen GitHub repository.
Datasets, experiments:
The CVTbed implementation in the current GOI GitHub repository includes the experiments conducted in the paper:

-
Oct 2016 - Calculation of G and other crisp and fuzzy validity indices (Silhouette, Partition coefficient, etc.).
-

Example figures:
Images show the example of a dataset clustered with the optimal k=20. Time series show various indices for clustering solutions with different initial 'k', from k=5 to k=20. Last image contains the three GOI indices.
