Class Clustering<M extends Model>

java.lang.Object
  de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.data.Clustering<M>

Type Parameters:

M - Model type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Result

public class Clustering<M extends Model>
extends Object
implements Result

Result class for clusterings. Can be used for both hierarchical and non-hierarchical clusterings. The class does not enforce or rely on clusterings to be a tree or DAG, instead they can be an arbitrary forest of directed graphs that COULD contain cycles. This class is NOT iterable for a simple reason: there is more than one method to do so. You need to specify whether you want to use getToplevelClusters() or getAllClusters().
