Understanding clustering model jargon

Clustering is quite unique and comes with it's own set of terms, which are shown below. Keep in mind that the following list is only a partial list as there are many different types of clustering with corresponding jargon:

• Clusters or groups: Each of these clusters or groups is a collection of data points into which our clustering technique organizes our data points.
• Intra-group or intra-cluster: Clusters resulting from clustering can be evaluated using a measure of similarity between data points and other data points in the same resulting cluster. This is called intra-group or intra-cluster evaluation and similarity.
• Inter-groupor inter-cluster: Clusters resulting from clustering can be evaluated using ...
