kmeans_clustering
“kmeans_clustering
” is a tool to cluster the output conformations from MD trajectory. The tool uses k means algorithm where the user needs to specify the number of clusters as well as the selection criteria. The results can be further refined by performing a subsequent calculation upon reading the previous clustering “indexfile
“. So in principle the user can start the calculation using large number of clusters and then re-run the calculation to reduce the number of clusters upon checking the cluster radius in the output file. The tool generates separate dcd file for each cluster which can be used for further analysis with other tools.
