UniversalCVI: Hard and Soft Cluster Validity Indices

Algorithms for checking the accuracy of a clustering result with known classes, computing cluster validity indices, and generating plots for comparing them. The package is compatible with K-means, fuzzy C means, EM clustering, and hierarchical clustering (single, average, and complete linkage). The details of the indices in this package can be found in: J. C. Bezdek, M. Moshtaghi, T. Runkler, C. Leckie (2016) <doi:10.1109/TFUZZ.2016.2540063>, T. Calinski, J.
