NAME
       Algorithm::Cluster - Perl interface to the C Clustering Library.

DESCRIPTION
       This module is an interface to the C Clustering Library, a general pur-
       pose library implementing functions for hierarchical clustering (pair-
       wise simple, complete, average, and centroid linkage), along with
       k-means and k-medians clustering, and 2D self-organizing maps.  This
       library was developed at the Human Genome Center of the University of
       Tokyo. The C Clustering Library is distributed along with Cluster 3.0,
       an enhanced version of the famous Cluster program originally written by
       Michael Eisen while at Stanford University.

EXAMPLES
       See the scripts in the examples subdirectory of the package.

CHANGES
       * C Clustering Library version 1.33 (2006.09.25)

TO DO
           *  Create the interface to the getclustercentroids routine
           *  Write Perl routines to read and write Cluster/TreeView-style
           data files.

THANKS
       Thanks to Michael Eisen, for creating the software packages Cluster and
       TreeView.
