A fuzzy cluster-validity index based on the topology structure and node attribute in complex networks

作者：

Highlights：

• Proposing a fuzzy validity index based on link information and node attributes.

• Calculating the compactness and separation between clusters in the proposed index.

• Fuzzy validity index that makes it possible for overlapping clusters.
