The quality of a clustering method depends on : a) the similarity measure used by the method , b) its implementation, and c) Its ability to discover some or all of the hidden patterns. Measure the Quality of Clustering : Dissimilarity/Similarity metric : Similarity is expressed in terms of a distance function, typically metric: d(i, j) . The definitions of distance functions are usually rather different for interval-scaled, boolean, categorical, ordinal ratio, and vector variables . Weights should be associated with different variables based on applications and data semantics . Quality of clustering: There is usually a separate %u201cquality%u201d function that measures the %u201cgoodness%u201d of a cluster. It is hard to define %u201csimilar enough%u201d or %u201cgood enough%u201d . The answer is typically highly subjective. Considerations for Cluster Analysis: 1- Partitioning criteria : Single level partitioning and hierarchical partitioning (often, multi-level hierarchical partitioning is desirable. 2- Separation of clusters : Exclusive (e.g., one customer belongs to only one region) and non-exclusive (e.g., one document may belong to more than one class). 3- Similarity measure : Distance-based (e.g., Euclidian, road network, vector) and connectivity-based (e.g., density or contiguity) 4- Clustering space : Full space (often when low dimensional) vs. subspaces (often in high-dimensional clustering). The following are typical requirements of clustering in data mining : 1- Scalability: Many clustering algorithms work well on small data sets containing fewer than several hundred data objects; however, a large database may contain millions or even billions of
