PRI: We introduce a probabilistic version of the well-known Rand Index (RI) for measuringthe similarity between two partitions‚ called Probabilistic Rand Index (PRI)‚ in which agreements and disagreements at the object-pair level are weighted according to the probability of their occurring by chance. We then cast consensus clustering as an optimization problem of the PRI value between a target partition and a set of given partitions‚ experimenting with a simple and very efficient stochastic optimization
