ClusteringComponents

ClusteringComponents[array]
gives an array in which each element of array is replaced by an integer index representing the cluster in which the element lies.
ClusteringComponents
finds at most n clusters.
ClusteringComponents
finds clusters at the specified level in array.
ClusteringComponents[image]
finds clusters of pixels with similar values in image.
ClusteringComponents
finds at most n clusters in image.
MORE INFORMATION
  • Other distance functions can be specified by setting the DistanceFunction option. Possible settings are:
ManhattanDistanceManhattan or "city block" distance
EuclideanDistanceEuclidean distance
SquaredEuclideanDistancesquared Euclidean distance
NormalizedSquaredEuclideanDistancenormalized squared Euclidean distance
CosineDistanceangular cosine distance
CorrelationDistancecorrelation coefficient distance
  • A Method option can be used to specify different methods of clustering. Possible settings include:
"Agglomerate"find clustering hierarchically
"Optimize"find clustering by local optimization
"KMeans"-means clustering algorithm
"PAM"find clustering by partitioning around medoids
  • ClusteringComponents accepts a option that is used to control the creation of the initial set of seeds.
