软件包: python-cluster (1.3.3-1)

allows grouping a list of arbitrary objects into related groups (clusters)

python-cluster is a "simple" package that allows users to create several groups (clusters) of objects from a list. It's meant to be flexible and able to cluster any object. To ensure this kind of flexibility, you need not only to supply the list of objects, but also a function that calculates the similarity between two of those objects. For simple datatypes, like integers, this can be as simple as a subtraction, but more complex calculations are possible. Right now, it is possible to generate the clusters using a hierarchical clustering and the popular K-Means algorithm. For the hierarchical algorithm there are different "linkage" (single, complete, average and uclus) methods available.
