Yes. It shouldn't be a problem. My point was that we are extending
numpoints as part of ClusterBase, though we are not using it in
SoftCluster. Other that that, I don't see any issue w.r.t. functionality.
Thanks

In the impl of SoftClusters on writeOut it calculates the centroid and
writes it and when read(in) it reads the centroid in to the center.
In ClusterDumper it reads into the ClusterBase and does value.getCenter();
It should work normally right

Yes. But not the total number of points. So, the numpoints from ClusterBase
will not be used in SoftCluster. numpoints is specific to Kmeans similar to
weightedpoint total for fuzzy kmeans.

the center is still the averaged out centroid right?

I haven't yet gone thru ClusterDumper. However, ClusterBase would be
having
number of points to average out (pointTotal/numPoints as per kmeans)
where
as SoftCluster will have weighted point total. So, I am wondering how can
we
reuse ClusterBase here?

yes. So that cluster dumper can print it out.

Hi Robin,
when you meant by reusing ClusterBase, are you planning to extend
ClusterBase in SoftCluster? For example, SoftCluster extends
ClusterBase?
Thanks

I have been trying to convert FuzzyKMeans SoftCluster(which should be
ideally be named FuzzyKmeansCluster) to use the ClusterBase.
I am getting* the same center* for all the clusters. To aid the
conversion
all i did was remove the center vector from the SoftCluster class and
reuse
the same from the ClusterBase. These are essentially making no change
in
the
tests which passes correctly.
So I am questioning whether the implementation keeps the average
center
at
all ? Anyone who has used FuzzyKMeans experiencing this?
