Installation

Either download GenClustPlusPlus from the Weka package manager, or download the latest release from the "Releases" section on the sidebar of Github. A video on the installation and use of the package can be found here.

Compilation / Development

Set up a project in your IDE of choice, including weka.jar as s compile-time library.

Valid options are:

-G <num generations> Number of generations for genetic algorithm. (default 60)

-P <popn size> Initial population size for generic algorithm. (default 30)

-N <max num iterations> Max iterations for initial k-means. (default 60)

-Q <max num iterations> Max iterations for quick k-means. (default 15)

-F <max num iterations> Max iterations for final run of k-means. (default 50)

-D <duplicate threshold> Threshold for difference between two genes for them to be considered duplicates. Always between 0 and 1. (default 0)

-M Do not replace missing values with a global mean / mode. (default false)
