"[SOLVED] Silhouette index and k-means"

MarcosRL

Hello friends of the community. a query
I want to perform validation of some clusters with k-means performed with the metric "Silhouette" for this I downloaded the. Jar of this page:

Then copy the. Jar to the folder lib / plugins
then connect the output of the operator "k-means clustering," the operator "Silhouette" but it seems to me are missing something, because I get the following error
"Process failed: No data was delivered at port Performance.similarity (disconnected)."
accompanying the process xml

any ideas?  :-\

Hi,

I have no idea what extension you were using because your original post is missing any links, however the error usually indicates that an input port of an operator is not connected (and therefore cannot recieve data).

Hi
The plugin is called "CPPlugin-0.2"
I add this plugin in \Rapid-I\RapidMiner5\lib  and gave the operator Silhouette index

Hi,

I tested your process with the plugin version 0.3 (not the 0.2 you were using) and RapidMiner 5.3.000 and I used some data from the Samples repository instead of your Process Documents operator - and it worked just fine. Maybe try the latest version of the plugin and make sure your Process Documents operator returns something useful (you can use a breakpoint on it to see its output).

Regards,
Marco

MarcosRL

can pass me the link to download the version 3 plugin?

Hi,

please note that this is a 3rd party extension. I just googled the name of the extension you wrote in your previous post and the first link was a hit.
