Class Cluster<M extends Model>

java.lang.Object

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.data.Cluster<M>

Type Parameters:

M - Model object type

All Implemented Interfaces:

TextWriteable, Hierarchical<Cluster<M>>

public class Cluster<M extends Model>
extends Object
implements Hierarchical<Cluster<M>>, TextWriteable

Generic cluster class, that may or not have hierarchical information. Note that every cluster MUST have a DBIDs, since it implements the interface, too. Calls to the interface are proxied to the inner group object. A hierarchy object of class SimpleHierarchy will be created automatically when a list of parents and children is provided. Alternatively, a pre-existing hierarchy object can be provided, e.g. when there is a single hierarchy object used for keeping all the hierarchy information in one object.
