Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Collection<Set<V>>	cluster(SimilarityGraph<V> graph) Cluster the vertices given a SimilarityGraph
Collection<Set<V>>	cluster(SimilarityGraph<V> graph, Collection<Set<V>> startingClusters) Cluster the vertices in graph using the startingClusters as a starting point.

Method Detail

cluster

Collection<Set<V>> cluster(SimilarityGraph<V> graph)

Cluster the vertices given a SimilarityGraph

Parameters:

graph - the graph

Returns:

collection containing sets of vertices that belong to the same cluster

cluster

Collection<Set<V>> cluster(SimilarityGraph<V> graph,
                         Collection<Set<V>> startingClusters)

Cluster the vertices in graph using the startingClusters as a starting point.

Cluster builders that where the starting clusters have no impact on clustering, such as the threshold cluster builder, can delegate to the cluster(SimilarityGraph graph) method.

Parameters:

graph - the graph

startingClusters - the clusters to start with

Returns:

collection containing sets of vertices that belong to the same cluster
