Silhouette: Proximity Measure Based Diagnostics for Standard, Soft, and Multi-Way Clustering (original) (raw)

Quantifies clustering quality by measuring both cohesion within clusters and separation between clusters. Implements advanced silhouette width computations for diverse clustering structures, including: simplified silhouette (Van der Laan et al., 2003) <doi:10.1080/0094965031000136012>, Probability of Alternative Cluster normalization methods (Raymaekers & Rousseeuw, 2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2050249>, fuzzy clustering and silhouette diagnostics using membership probabilities (Campello & Hruschka, 2006; Menardi, 2011; Bhat & Kiruthika, 2024) <doi:10.1016/j.fss.2006.07.006>, <doi:10.1007/s11222-010-9169-0>, <doi:10.1080/23737484.2024.2408534>, and multi-way clustering extensions such as block and tensor clustering (Schepers et al., 2008; Bhat & Kiruthika, 2025) <doi:10.1007/s00357-008-9005-9>, <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6973596/v1>.
