DCLUSTE

Examplar clustering, wrapper around EXEMPLAR

    LAB = DCLUSTE(D,K)
    LAB = D*DCLUSTE(K)

Input
D	Square dissimilarity matrix, size M*M, dataset or doubles
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.
NEST	Logical, if TRUE a nested result is returned in case of  multi-level clustering. Default is TRUE unless K is given, as  nesting conflicts with demanding a number of clusters.

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 EXEMPLAR and uses its default  parameter settings. EXEMPLAR does not return a predefined number of  clusters. Therefore, if K is defined clustering is redefined by RECLUSTK,  possibly at the cost of performance.
