A Description and User's Guide for CLUSTERl2C++: A Program for Conjunctive Conceptual Clustering
Robert E. Stepp, Scott Fischthal · 2009
The following is a comprehensive user's guide and reference for using CLUSTERJ2C++, the latest version of the CLUSlER12 program for constructing classifications of arbitrary objects. Given a set of object descriptions, in the form of attribute-value pairs, the program structures the objects into a hierarchy of classes. The program produces a conjunctive description of each class using selected object attributes. The program runs in a batch mode, with parameter and object descriptions input via relational tables; future versions will provide interactive and embeddable interfaces. This document contains the deftnitions of the relational table syntax and the values that can be entered. Also included and discussed are sample input and corresponding program output generated by CLUSTERI2C++.
