CLUTO is a software toolkit used for clustering high-dimensional datasets and analyzing cluster characteristics. It contains two main algorithms: Vcluster, which clusters based on the actual multi-dimensional data representation, and Scluster, which clusters based on a pre-computed similarity matrix. CLUTO can be run from the command line with various optional parameters to control the clustering method, analysis, and visualization of results.
2. ? CLUTO is a software package which is used for
clustering high dimensional datasets and for
analyzing the characteristics of the various
clusters.
3. Algorithms of CLUTO
? Vcluster
? Scluster
Major difference: Input
Vcluster: actual mutidimensional representation
of the objects to be clustered.
Scluster: The similarity matrix (or graph)
between these objects.
7. Reporting and Analysis Parameters
? Control the amount of information that vcluster
and scluster report about the clusters as well as
the analysis performed on discovered clusters.
? Examples
1. -clustfile = string. ( Default is
MatrixFile.clustering.Nclusters( or GraphFile))
2. -clabelfile = string (name of the file that¡¯s stores the
labels of the columns. Used when ¨Cshowfeatues, -
showsummaries or ¨Clabeltree are used)
9. Cluster Visualization Parameters
? Simple plots of the original input matrix which
show how the different objects (rows) and
features (columns) are clustered together.
? Examples
1. -plottree = string; gives graphic representation of
the entire hierarchical tree
2. -plotmatrix = string; shows how the rows of the
original matrix are clustered together.

15. The plot uses red to
denote positive values
and green to denote
negative values. Bright
red/green indicate
large
positive/negative
values, whereas colors
close to white indicate
values close to zero.
