Silhouette Score is calculated using the following formula:

Silhouettescore = (p−q)/max(p,q)

What does p & q represent?

p = mean distance to the points in the nearest cluster & q = mean intra-cluster distance to all the
points.
You Selected
p = mean distance to the points in the farthest cluster & q = mean intra-cluster distance to all the
points.

p = mean distance to the points in the nearest cluster & q = sum of the intra-cluster distance of all the
points.

p = mean distance to the points in the farthest cluster & q = sum of the intra-cluster distance of all
the points.
