TL;DR
A measure based on the comparison of object triples having the advantage of a probabilistic interpretation in addition to being corrected for chance is proposed and bounded between ±1.5 and ±2.5.

The derivation and use of a measure of similarity between two hierarchical clusterings, Bk, is derived from the matching matrix, [mij], formed by cutting the two hierarchical trees and counting the number of matching entries in the k clusters in each tree.

An evaluation of four clustering methods and four external criterion measures was conducted with respect to the effect of the number of clusters, dimensionality, and relative cluster sizes on the recovery of true cluster structure, and results indicated that the four criterion measures were generally consistent with each other.

63 Citations1985Ted Klastorin
The intent of this paper is to test Mulvey and Crowder's proposal using the mixture model approach; i.e., by applying a number of algorithms to a set of objects randomly sampled from aNumber of known multivariate populations and comparing the ability of each algorithm to detect the original populations.

This article shows some of the interrelationships among various measures that have been suggested for summarizing pairwise proximities and to demonstrate that clustering results are not invariant over these alternative measures.

The methods of evaluation to be discussed have a number of uses and could be appropriately placed under a particular subtopic such as hierarchical clustering, or within a more inclusive framework such as classification analysis.
