A new cell group clustering algorithm based on validation & correction mechanism

作者：

Highlights：

• We define a Split Index to evaluate the cohesion of a cell group.

• A new method using clustering validation index is applied in clustering process.

• Algorithm SICG is proposed based on validation & correction mechanism.

• SICG with good result has little dependence on the parameter.
