<b>Determination and validation of group numbers in a cluster analysis: A case study applied to forestry science

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to systematically study and interpret the number of species groups through the adjusted Rand index (ARI), from the combination of the hierarchical technique and connection method characteristics. We attempted to facilitate the work of researchers on the number of groups and validation of the groups. The original data based on the Mahalanobis distance, the hierarchical single linkage, complete linkage, average linkage, Ward's and ARI methods were applied. For the valida… Show more

“…This coefficient was used to measure degree of fit of classification and a criterion for evaluating the efficiency of clustering techniques (Saraçli et al 2013). The coefficient value of greater than 0.8 for the dendrogram in this study indicated that the clusters generated from the analysis was very good in terms of representing the original distance matrix or degree of resemblance between samples (Albuquerque et al 2016).…”

“…No entanto, também espera se que os grupos formados sejam distantes entre si, ou seja, que a proximidade de objetos em grupos distintos seja a menor possível. Essa característica é representada quando existe uma grande diferença entre a altura de um arco e os arcos formados abaixo dele (Albuquerque et al, 2016) Os métodos não hierárquicos ou de partição, têm como objetivo a obtenção de partições sobre o conjunto a classificar ou agrupar. De acordo com o modo de funcionamento, estes métodos distinguem-se entre métodos centroides e métodos de transferências.…”
