CLUSTE

Wrapper for examplar clustering by DCLUSTE for feature based data

    LAB = CLUSTE(A,K,MSIZE)
    LAB = A*CLUSTE(K,MSIZE)

Input
A	Feature based dataset or double array with M objects (rows).
K	Scalar or a vector of length N with desired numbers of clusters.  Default is a set of N clusterings with numbers that naturally  arise from the data.
MSIZE	Number of objects (M) above which processing is automatically  taken over by CLUSTME (default 2000). Use MSIZE = inf to avoid use  of CLUSTME.

Output
LAB	M*N array with the results of the multi-level clusterings for the
M	objects. The columns refer to the N clusterings. They yield for  the objects the prototype indices of the clusters they belong to.

Description

This routine performs a clustering based on message passing between data  points, see [1]. It is a wrapper around DCLUSTE which is based on  EXEMPLAR. That routine should be called directly to set other parameters  than its defaults.

EXEMPLAR does not return clusterings with a preset number of clusters K.  Its multilevel clustering is first made nested by RECLUSTN. Next the  desired number of clusters is realized by RECLUSTK.

Example(s)

 randreset;                     % take care of reproducability
 data = gendatclust1(20000);    % generate 20000 objects in 10 clusters
                                % Run Mean Shift clustering
 lab = cluste(data,[2 5 10 18 30 50 100],2000);
                                % Show scatterplot for 10 clusters
 figure; scatn(lab(:,3),data,'Exemplar'); 
 figure; clusteval(lab,data);   % Evaluation by active learning
