MCDMExternal Clustering Validation

V-measure

V-measure, introduced by Rosenberg and Hirschberg in 2007, is an external clustering evaluation metric based on the harmonic mean of homogeneity and completeness. It measures whether clusters contain only points from a single true class (homogeneity) and whether all points from a true class are assigned to the same cluster (completeness). Values range from 0 to 1.
