Silhouette coefficient for finding optimal number of clusters

Silhouette coefficient is another method to determine the optimal number of clusters. Here I introduced c-index earlier. The silhouette coefficient of a data measures how well data are assigned to its own cluster and how far they are from other clusters. A silhouette close to 1 means the data points are in an appropriate cluster and a silhouette […]
