Lexical Evaluation Function

Name Lexical Evaluation Function
Description The Lexical Evaluation Function is a user defined measure to evaluate the quality of a cluster in the process of conceptual clustering. A simple example for a finite domain X is this one:

Let covE(C) denote the number of examples of a given example set E, covered by the cluster C. Let covX(C) denote the number of instances of the example language covered by C. Then define LEF as

LEF := 1 - covE(C) / covX(C)
