DBCVindex: Calculates the Density-Based Clustering Validation (DBCV) Index

A metric called 'Density-Based Clustering Validation index' (DBCV) index to evaluate clustering results, following the <https://github.com/pajaskowiak/clusterConfusion/blob/main/R/dbcv.R> 'R' implementation by Pablo Andretta Jaskowiak. Original 'DBCV' index article: Moulavi, D., Jaskowiak, P. A., Campello, R. J., Zimek, A., and Sander, J. (April 2014), "Density-based clustering validation", Proceedings of SDM 2014 – the 2014 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (pp. 839-847), <doi:10.1137/1.9781611973440.96>. A more recent article on the 'DBCV' index: Chicco, D., Sabino, G.; Oneto, L.; Jurman, G. (August 2025), "The DBCV index is more informative than DCSI, CDbw, and VIASCKDE indices for unsupervised clustering internal assessment of concave-shaped and density-based clusters", PeerJ Computer Science 11:e3095 (pp. 1-), <doi:10.7717/peerj-cs.3095>.
