How many clusters: easily compute indices of "fit" (e.g., silhouette score) #69

Thanks for the package. I was wondering if there was a way of easily estimating the optimal numbers of clusters by computing some indices of fit, e.g., the Silhouette score.

I checked the documentation of compare_clusterings() but it seems like an overkill as compared to what I would like to get.

Any pointers appreciated :)

cvi?

Yes indeed, I missed it and it's exactly what I needed. Cheers!
