Subsethood measure: new definitions

We comment on the subsethood measure and weak subsethood measure defined by Young and give some new definitions of subsethood measure. We present some subsethood measure formulas from the point of view of set-theoretic approach, and from fuzzy implication operator. Finally an application of subsethood measure to cluster validity is shown.
