Abstract

This paper proposed an improved partition entropy coefficient (IPE) index by making using of the trend of partition entropy coefficient (PE) index to increase as the cluster number increases. Comparisons between IPE index and PE index and two existed cluster validity indexes are conducted on four real data sets. Experimental results show that IPE is able to identify the cluster number underlying the data set in the case that PE index is unable to do and outperforms the two existed cluster validity indexes.
