  <dc:title>Calculates the Density-Based Clustering Validation (DBCV) Index</dc:title>

  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Cluster (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Cluster)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>A metric called 'Density-Based Clustering Validation index' (DBCV) index to evaluate clustering results, following the &lt;https://github.com/pajaskowiak/clusterConfusion/blob/main/R/dbcv.R&gt; 'R' implementation by Pablo Andretta Jaskowiak. Original 'DBCV' index article: Moulavi, D., Jaskowiak, P. A., Campello, R. J., Zimek, A., and Sander, J. (April 2014), "Density-based clustering validation", Proceedings of SDM 2014 -- the 2014 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (pp. 839-847), &lt;doi:10.1137/1.9781611973440.96&gt;. A more recent article on the 'DBCV' index: Chicco, D., Sabino, G.; Oneto, L.; Jurman, G. (August 2025), "The DBCV index is more informative than DCSI, CDbw, and VIASCKDE indices for unsupervised clustering internal assessment of concave-shaped and density-based clusters", PeerJ Computer Science 11:e3095 (pp. 1-), &lt;doi:10.7717/peerj-cs.3095&gt;.</dc:description>
