How to calculate Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) for Clustering?

Hi dear friends

How can I use Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) for Clustering? like K-Means or DBSCAN

I attach the file

Thank's

You could build a process using the k-means and/or DBSCAN operators?

I used K_Means and DBSCAN, but I want to evaluate these methods by NMI.

You might want to check out the Mutual Information Matrix operator. See below.
