Description: 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:
