Continue reading → Clustering is a division of data into groups of similar objects. Each group, called cluster, consists of objects that are similar between themselves and dissimilar to objects of other groups. Representing data by fewer clusters necessarily loses certain fine details (akin to lossy data compression), but achieves simplification. It represents many data objects by few [...]

Ina standard C# program, various built-in functions, which are invoked by the program, are resolved to a library during compilation. The library contains code for these functions. The compiler identifies the library [...]
