completeness {clevr}

Completeness Between Clusterings

Description

Computes the completeness between two clusterings, such as a predicted and ground truth clustering.

Usage

completeness(true, pred)

Arguments

true

ground truth clustering represented as a membership vector. Each entry corresponds to an element and the value identifies the assigned cluster. The specific values of the cluster identifiers are arbitrary.

pred

predicted clustering represented as a membership vector.

Details

Completeness is an entropy-based measure of the similarity between two clusterings, say t and p. The completeness is high if all members of a given cluster in t are assigned to a single cluster in p. The completeness ranges between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates perfect completeness.

homogeneity evaluates the homogeneity, which is a dual measure to completeness. v_measure evaluates the harmonic mean of completeness and homogeneity.

true <- c(1,1,1,2,2)  # ground truth clustering
pred <- c(1,1,2,2,2)  # predicted clustering
