Hello Everyone,

I am a beginner with Mahout and trying to use it for the first time.
I have some data from one of my professor's research and looking to apply
Mahout clustering algorithms. Our data typically is, student records spread
across the rows (i.e one student info in each row). The data is about the
number of modules (cumulative) that they have completed in each week. (i.e
Data for a particular week is in a column)
For Example: For student1 we have 1,1,2,4,4,5. Which indicates that the
student1 has completed 1 module in first week and none in the second week
and so on.

Our goal is to group the students based on the number of modules that they
completed each week and identify the learning patterns of students.

Can some one please help me by suggesting how I can use the clustering
algorithms available in Mahout, i.e how I can input our data to the
algorithms. Or please suggest me some reference/documentation for formatting
the Input. Any suggestions will be of great help to me.

Thanks
Mahi
