Member Function Documentation

cluster()

void cluster ( std::vector< Data > &  data, const SimilarityComparator &  comparator, const ClusterFunctor &  clusterer, std::vector< BinaryTreeNode > &  cluster_tree, DistanceMatrix< float > &  original_distance  )

inline

Clustering function.

Cluster data using SimilarityComparator and ClusterFunctor.

Creates a DistanceMatrix (if an empty matrix is passed) and the clustering is started. Clustering stops if the ClusterHierarchical::threshold_ is reached by the ClusterFunctor.

First template parameter is the cluster object type, Second template parameter is the similarity functor applicable to the type.

For example, PeakSpectrum with a PeakSpectrumCompareFunctor.

The similarity functor must provide the similarity calculation with the ()-operator and yield normalized values in range of [0,1] for the type of < Data >.

Parameters

data	vector of objects to be clustered
comparator	similarity functor fitting for types in data
clusterer	a clustermethod implementation, baseclass ClusterFunctor
cluster_tree	the vector that will hold the BinaryTreeNodes representing the clustering (for further investigation with the ClusterAnalyzer methods)
original_distance	the DistanceMatrix holding the pairwise distances of the elements in data, will be made newly if given size does not fit to the number of elements given in @ data

getThreshold()

double getThreshold ( ) const

inline

get the threshold

setThreshold()

void setThreshold ( double  x )

inline

set the threshold (in terms of distance) The default is 1, i.e. only at similarity 0 the clustering stops. Warning: clustering is not supported by all methods yet (e.g. SingleLinkage does ignore it).
