MOCluGen¶
MOCluGen is a MATLAB/Octave package for generating multidimensional clusters
using the CluGen algorithm. It provides the clugen()
function for this purpose, as well as a number of auxiliary functions, used
internally and modularly by clugen(). Users can swap these
auxiliary functions by their own customized versions, fine-tuning their cluster
generation strategies, or even use them as the basis for their own generation
algorithms.
How to install¶
Download the most recent version from the releases page or clone the development version with following command:
Open MATLAB or GNU Octave and cd into the project's folder, and run the
startup.m script:
MOCluGen is now ready to use.
Quick start¶
o = clugen(2, 4, 400, [1 0], pi / 8, [50, 10], 20, 1, 2, 'seed', 123);
scatter(o.points(:, 1), o.points(:, 2), 36, o.clusters, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k');
o = clugen(3, 4, 1000, [1 0 0], pi / 8, [20 15 25], 16, 4, 3.5, 'seed', 123);
scatter3(o.points(:, 1), o.points(:, 2), o.points(:, 3), 36, o.clusters, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k');
