Table 2. Averaged Cohen’s kappa values for all cluster solutions with 3–10 clusters.
3 Clusters | 4 Clusters | 5 Clusters | 6 Clusters | 7 Clusters | 8 Clusters | 9 Clusters | 10 Clusters | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
k-Means | 0.65 | 0.74 | 0.90 | 0.64 | 0.62 | 0.62 | 0.60 | 0.63 |
LPA | 0.80 | 0.38 | 0.38 | 0.29 | 0.30 | 0.32 | 0.30 | 0.19 |
Spectral | 0.89 | 0.88 | 0.81 | 0.70 | 0.76 | 0.75 | 0.75 | 0.67 |
Mean | 0.78 | 0.66 | 0.70 | 0.54 | 0.56 | 0.56 | 0.55 | 0.50 |
Each cell is an average value over 20 independent cluster computations on random data permutations; the mean value in the last row is the average over all cluster algorithms. LPA = latent profile analysis, k-Means = k-Means Clustering algorithm, Spectral = Spectral clustering algorithm.
