  <dc:title>Implementation of the DISCO Metric for Internal Clustering
Evaluation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package discoCVI version 0.1.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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)
