Multi-index Evaluation Analysis of Region Network Development: A Cluster Empirical Study

The evaluation of region development of network has been a widespread concern in recent years. However, network development of a region, due to its specific characteristics and application scenario, should have a tailor-made evaluation system. In this study, taking into account various factors in multiple fields, a multiple-index evaluation system is established. Then, a principal component analysis-based K-means clustering approach is proposed to address the analyzing problem with an acceptable complexity. A simulation experiment is implemented to verify the algorithm. The results can be used to compare the different areas telecommunication networks, and provide rational and effective suggestions for network planning and construction.
