Method Detail

pickSeeds

public Node[] pickSeeds(List<Node> nodes)

This algorithm is from the original paper. Algorithm LinearPickSeeds. Select two entries to be the first elements of the groups. LPS1. [Find extreme rectangles along all dimensions]. Along each dimension, find the entry whose rectangle has the highest low side, and the one with the lowest high side. Record the separation. LPS2. [Adjust for shape of the rectangle cluster]. Normalize the separations by dividing by the width of the entire set along the corresponding dimension. LPS3. [Select the most extreme pair]. Choose the pair with the greatest normalized separation along any dimension.

Specified by:

pickSeeds in class GutmanSplitStrategy

Parameters:

nodes - - nodes to choose from

Returns:

- two groups representing the seeds

pickNext

public Node pickNext(List<Node> nodes,
            Node[] groups)

This algorithm is from the original paper. Algorithm LinearPickNext. PickNext simply choose any of the remaining entries.

Specified by:

pickNext in class GutmanSplitStrategy

Parameters:

nodes - - remaining nodes

groups - - the left and right groups

Returns:

- the optimal selected node
