discoCVI - Implementation of the DISCO Metric for Internal Clustering
Evaluation
Implementation of the DISCO (Density-based Internal Score
for Clusterings with nOise) metric, a cluster validity index
for evaluating density-based clustering results without ground
truth labels. DISCO is the first index to explicitly assess the
quality of noise point assignments in addition to cluster
quality. It uses density-connectivity distance derived from a
minimum spanning tree of the mutual-reachability graph,
providing interpretable, bounded scores in [-1, 1]. Higher
scores indicate better clustering. Based on Beer et al. (2025)
