Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A good clustering is one having
A
Low inter-cluster distance and low intra-cluster distance
B
Low inter-cluster distance and high intra-cluster distance
C
High inter-cluster distance and low intra-cluster distance
D
High inter-cluster distance and high intra-cluster distance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A good clustering method will produce high quality clusters in which: – the intra-class (that is, intra intra-cluster) similarity is high. – the inter-class similarity is low. • The quality of a clustering result also depends on both the similarity measure used by the method and its implementation.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are the characteristics of a good cluster analysis? A good clustering method will produce high-quality clusters, which means there is high similarity between observations in a single cluster and low similarity between observations in different clusters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Intra-cluster distance is the distance between a data item and the cluster centroid within a cluster. Inter-cluster distance is the distance between the data items in distinct clusters.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Is Good Clustering? The quality of a clustering result depends on both the similarity measure used by the method and its implementation. The quality of a clustering method is also measured by its ability to discover some or all of the hidden patterns.
