The Calinski–Harabasz index (CHI), also known as the Variance Ratio Criterion (VRC), is a metric for evaluating clustering algorithms, introduced by Tadeusz Caliński and Jerzy Harabasz in 1974. It is an internal evaluation metric, where the assessment of the clustering quality is based solely on the dataset and the clustering results, and not on external, ground-truth labels.
