KValid is a simple clustering evaluation package for WEKA. It uses the SimpleKMeans algorithm as a backend to cluster the instances and evaluates the clusterer using some algorithms, currently Silhouette-Index and Elbow.

Functionalities

KValid uses Silhouette-Index and Elbow to validate the SimpleKMeans algorithm. Besides calculating the SI and SSE, the package tell which is the best K and allows plot the graph into the screen and save as PNG format.

How to install

In order to install KValid, download trough the release menu in GitHub, this link to be more specific. (make sure that your WEKA version is >= 3.7.1)
