NAME

Algorithm::Cluster - Perl interface to the C Clustering Library.

DESCRIPTION

This module is an interface to the C Clustering Library, a general purpose library implementing functions for hierarchical clustering (pairwise simple, complete, average, and centroid linkage), along with k-means and k-medians clustering, and 2D self-organizing maps. This library was developed at the Human Genome Center of the University of Tokyo. The C Clustering Library is distributed along with Cluster 3.0, an enhanced version of the famous Cluster program originally written by Michael Eisen while at Stanford University.

EXAMPLES

See the scripts in the examples subdirectory of the package.
