The evaluation of clustering effects has been an important issue for a long time. How to effectively evaluate the clustering results of clustering algorithms is the key to the problem. The clustering effect evaluation is generally divided into internal clustering effect evaluation and external clustering effect evaluation. This paper focuses on the internal clustering effect evaluation, and proposes an improved index based on the Silhouette index and the Calinski-Harabasz index: Peak Weight Index (PWI). PWI combines the characteristics of Silhouette index and Calinski-Harabasz index, and takes the peak value of the two indexes as the impact point and gives appropriate weight within a certain range. Silhouette index and Calinski-Harabasz index will help improve the fluctuation of clustering results in the data set. Through the simulation experiments on four self-built influence data sets and two real data sets, it will prove that the PWI has excellent evaluation of clustering results.
A complete chloroplast genome of Actinidia rubus, an endemic shrub in China, was sequenced and identified. The length of genome is 156,573 bp, and the GC content is 37.3%. This genome contains a large single copy (LSC; 88,473 bp) region, a small single copy (SSC; 20,492) region, a pair of inverted repeat (IR; 23,804) regions. A total of 113 unique genes were identified, including 78 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genome of 10 species showed that Actintdia eriantha was sister to A. rubus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
