Moments of Rand's C statistic in cluster analysis

Janice L. DuBien, William D. Warde and Seong S. Chae

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2004, vol. 69, issue 3, 243-252

Abstract: Two different formulations on the moments of Rand's C appear incompatible. The mean and variance of Rand's C statistic given by Fowlkes and Mallows (J. Amer Statist. Assoc. 78 (1983) 553) are special cases of the mean and variance of C given by DuBien and Warde (ASA proceedings of the social statistics section (1981) 309).
