Clustering Algorithms

Clustering, PairCorr, SimulateDomains, SRcluster are a set of MATLAB classes that

o collect together various spatial clustering statistics and algorithms
(hierarchal, DBSCAN [4 versions], Getis based, Voronoi based);
o pair auto- and cross-correlation curves and statistics
o simulations of spatial domains (clusters) of fluorophore localizations that
exhibit distributions of observations representing blinks; and
o a top-down clustering algorithm to collapse clusters of observations of
blinking fluorophores into a single estimate of the true location of the
fluorophore using a log-likelihood hypothesis test (H-SET: Hierarchical
Single Emitter Hypothesis Test).


Many of these algorithms operate in 3D as well as 2D. I will also demonstrate SuperCluster, which provides a GUI interface to some of the above.
