Parameters

data: Type: SystemDouble
labels (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
weights (Optional): Type: SystemDouble

Return Value

Type: Double
The average square distance from the data points to the nearest clusters' centroids.

Remarks

The average distance from centroids can be used as a measure of the "goodness" of the clustering. The more the data are aggregated around the centroids, the less the average distance.
