title: 'discoCVI: Implementation of the DISCO Metric for Internal Clustering Evaluation'
version: 0.2.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.discoCVI
abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2503.00127>.
