[jira] Resolved: (MAHOUT-236) Cluster Evaluation Tools

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sean Owen resolved MAHOUT-236.
------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 0.5
                       (was: 0.4)
       Resolution: Fixed

If I read this right, Jeff, you're done here? at least for 0.4 purposes?

Re: [jira] Resolved: (MAHOUT-236) Cluster Evaluation Tools

Posted by Jeff Eastman <jd...@windwardsolutions.com>.
  Yes, well, almost. I'm refactoring the CDbw implementation to separate 
the representativePoints extraction so multiple evaluators can be used 
with a tractable set of points for each cluster. I'm adding a new 
ClusterEvaluator that uses the same code as in "Mahout in Action" for 
inter-cluster density and, since intra-cluster density code is not shown 
in the book, my crack at it over the representative points. Since that 
set is reasonably sized, it can all be done in memory. I will commit 
that today.
