Clustering methods

Depending on the clustering method, cluster results can be displayed in the form of a dendrogram or in a PCA score plot (Section 3.8.2). Such graphic allows abetter visual impression about the relations between the variables and about the clustering structure. It is thus a suitable tool for selecting the variables. 

S0rensen ° analysed the In O2 vs. Inx experimentally determined functions at different temperatures. The slope of such curves can be shown to he simply related, by equilibrium equations, to the number of atoms and defects composing a cluster. By this method, clusters and clusters aggregations as given in Table 9 are proposed. 

Pattern recognition can be classified according to several parameters. Below we discuss only the supervised/unsupervised dichotomy because it represents two different ways of analyzing hyperspectral data cubes. Unsupervised methods (cluster analysis) classify image pixels without calibration and with spectra only, in contrast to supervised classifications. Feature extraction methods [21] such as PCA or wavelet compression are often applied before cluster analysis.

Cluster-Based Methods. Clustering methods have a long history of application in chemical information (60). Any set of descriptors can be used in the clustering, but most typically some form of structural fingerprint is used in conjunction with a similarity measure such as the Tanimoto coefficient (see Section 2.1.4.1). The methods fall into two broad classes, hierarchical and nonhierarchical. 

DSM-IV presents but one version of borderline disorder (a type of histrionic-dependent borderline). Speaking more broadly in this book, we will refer to borderline disorders as including a host of personality "styles" that share the common core features listed above. In addition, it is helpful to delineate three subgroups of borderlines. These subgroups have been derived both by research methods (cluster and factor analysis) and by a method that psychopharmacologist Donald Klein calls "pharmacological behavioral dissection." This latter approach looks at how different groups of patients respond to psychotropic medications based on their response patterns, subtypes can be identified. 

A density-based method clusters gene expression data based on the notion of density. It grows clusters either according to the density of neighborhood clusters or according to some estimated density functions.55... 

For modeling purposes, the electronic structure of a tip is approximated by a linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) method. Cluster models of 10-20 atoms are utilized [78]. It has been found that the tunneling current is concentrated on a single apex atom, if the other front most atoms of a tip are not located on the same level. Hence, the apex atom of the tip matters (examples are in Fig. 10.18) [79].

There are other teehniques for mass separation sueh as the quadrupole mass filter and Wien filter. Another mass speetrometry teehnique is based on ion ehromatography, which is also capable of measuring the shapes of clusters [30, 31]. In this method, cluster ions of a given mass are injected into a drift tube with well-defined entrance and exit slits and filled with an inert gas. The clusters drift through this tube under a weak electric potential. Since the...
