Abstract

There are a wide variety of clustering algorithms; subsequently, we need a measure of similarity between two clustering methods. Such a measure can compare how well different clustering algorithms perform on a set of data. More numbers of compared clustering algorithms allow for more number of valuers for a measure of similarity between two clustering methods. Thus, we need a simple tool that presents the many values of a measure of similarity to compare many clustering methods. We suggest some graphical tools to compareg many clustering methods.

군집분석을 위한 알고리즘은 매우 많다. 이러한 군집분석 방법들이 개체들을 어떻게 여러 개의 군집으로 나누는 지를 서로 비교하기 위해서는 나누어지는 군집들이 얼마나 동일한가를 알 수 있는 동의 측도가 필요하다. 우리가 고려하여야 할 군집분석 방법들이 많아질수록 덩달아 동의 측도들 값도 많아지게 된다. 그래서 복수 개의 군집분석 방법들과 대응되는 동의 측도값들을 한 눈에 확인할 수 있는 도구가 필요하다. 본 논문을 통하여 군집분석 방법들과 대응되는 동의 측도값들을 한 눈에 확인할 수 있는 그래픽도구들을 제안하고자 한다.
