Validity index for crisp and fuzzy clusters

TLDR
A cluster validity index and its fuzzification is described, which can provide a measure of goodness of clustering on different partitions of a data set, and results demonstrating the superiority of the PBM-index in appropriately determining the number of clusters are provided.

A Selection Model for Optimal Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm and Number of Clusters Based on Competitive Comprehensive Fuzzy Evaluation

TL;DR: A center initialization approach based on a minimum spanning tree to keep FCM from local minima and a selection model that combines multiple pairs of a fuzzy clustering algorithm and cluster validity index to identify the number of clusters and simultaneously selects the optimal fuzzy clusters for a dataset is proposed.

Investigation of Internal Validity Measures for K-Means Clustering

TL;DR: The Sum-of-Squares method was found to be the most effective for predicting an appropriate value for k, and the results suggest that validity measures could be used as explanatory tools in their own right.
