Clustering is an unsupervised technique to detect general,
distinct profiles from a given dataset. Similarly to the existence of various
different clustering methods and algorithms, there exists many cluster
validation methods and indices to suggest the number of clusters. The
purpose of this paper is, firstly, to propose a new, simple internal cluster
validation index. The index has a maximal coverage: also one cluster, i.e.,
lack of division of a dataset into disjoint subsets, can be detected. Secondly,
the proposed index is compared to the available indices from five
different packages implemented in R or Matlab to assess its utilizability.
The comparison also suggests many interesting findings in the available
implementations of the existing indices. The experiments and the comparison
support the viability of the proposed cluster validation index.

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A and platelet-derived growth factor-B combination gene therapy prolongs angiogenic effects via recruitment of interstitial mononuclear cells and paracrine effects rather than improved pericyte coverage of angiogenic vessels
Korpisalo, P; Karvinen, H; Rissanen, T T; Kilpijoki, J; Marjomäki, Varpu; Baluk, P; McDonald, D M; Cao, Y; Eriksson, U; Alitalo, K; Ylä-Herttuala, S (2008)Vessel stabilization and the inhibition of side effects such as tissue edema are essential in angiogenic gene therapy. Thus, combination gene transfers stimulating both endothelial cell and pericyte proliferation have ...
