---------------------------------------------------------------------- CLUSTERENSEMBLE README Alexander Strehl Version 2.0 2011-05-01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains a MATLAB implementation of the cluster ensemble algorithms as described in A. Strehl and J. Ghosh. "Cluster Ensembles - A Knowledge Reuse Framework for Combining Multiple Partitions", Journal on Machine Learning Research (JMLR), 3:583-617, December 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To use it copy all eleven files ClusterEnsembleTest.m README_ClusterEnsemble.txt ceevalmutual.m clbtocl.m clstoclbs.m cltoclb.m clusterensemble.m cspa.m hgpa.m mcla.m norml.m to a directory in your MATLAB path or the current directory in your MATLAB environment. Also, make sure that you have CLUSTERBASICS installed. Then, in MATLAB just type clusterensemble; to get an illustrative example or help clusterensemble to get help on the usage of the function. It has been tested on WIN7 Octave 3.2.4 and LNX86 Matlab 5.2.0.3084. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For questions, comments & services please contact alexander@strehl.com This package and potential updates are available from http://strehl.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, copyright (c) 1998-2011 by Alexander Strehl.
