clValid , an R package for cluster validation

The R package clValid contains functions for validating the results of a clustering analysis. There are three main types of cluster validation measures available, \internal", \stability", and \biological". The user can choose from nine clustering algorithms in existing R packages, including hierarchical, K-means, self-organizing maps (SOM),
