Analysis of patient dispersion with different granularity
| Granularity | Unike sets of recom. | Sets with 10 patients | Calinski–Harabasz | Davies–Bouldin | Silhouette index |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 144 | 9 | 36.12 | 1.37 | 0.169 |
| 5 | 122 | 11 | 39.12 | 1.42 | 0.152 |
| 4 | 94 | 13 | 38.22 | 1.48 | 0.137 |
| 3 | 46 | 14 | 48.47 | 1.42 | 0.137 |
Higher values of Calinski–Harabasz index mean that the clusters are well-delineated and compact. Lower values of Davies–Bouldin indicate that the clusters are well-separated and distinct. A higher Silhouette index indicates that patients are well-matched to their own cluster and poorly matched to neighbouring clusters
