Pat Ferrel commented on MAHOUT-1045:
------------------------------------
Adding singularity clusters into the average would make more sense if they
weren't anomalies. For instance if the singularity was caused by dimensional
reduction instead of identical pages with different URLs. So it seems like we
are splitting hairs at this point. I am not aware of a statistical technique
for adding them back in, so unless someone else does I wouldn't know how.

> Key: MAHOUT-1045
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1045
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Clustering
> Affects Versions: 0.6, 0.7, 0.8
> Environment: Several environments and data sets
> Reporter: Pat Ferrel
> Fix For: 0.8

>
> With real world crawl data the Intra-cluster density from ClusterEvaluator is
> almost always NaN. The CDbw inter-cluster density is almost always 0. I have
> also seen several cases where CDbw fails to return any results but have not
> tracked down why yet.
> I have sent a link to an 8G data set that reproduces these errors to Jeff
> Eastman.
