Project description
- python-cluster is a “simple” package that allows 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 algorithm. Different “linkage” (single, complete, average and uclus) methods are also available. I plan to implement other algoithms as well on an “as-needed” or “as-I-have-time” basis.
