performance - Difference between Hierarchical and Non Hierarchical Clustering? -


i trying see if performance of both can compared based on objective functions work on?

hierarchical : single linkage, complete linkage , average linkage algorithms

non hierarchical : fuzzy c means , k means

don't confuse algorithms , tasks.

there more 1 algorithm k-means. there @ least 2 dozen. use k-d-trees acceleration, example. , heuristics, because finding optimal k-means solution shown np-hard in general, believe.

similarly, there naive o(n^3) runtime , o(n^2) memory approach hierarchical clustering, , there algorithms such slink single-linkage hierarchical clustering , clink complete-linkage hierarchical clustering run in o(n^2) time , o(n) memory.

last not least, if use dbscan , set minpts=2, result same single-link hierarchical clustering when cut @ height of epsilon. yet, appropriate index, dbscan runs in o(n log n) (e.g. in elki - scipy implementation not clever, needs o(n^2) memory , runtime).

so why can have such different runtimes apparently same task? first of all, algorithms (and implementations) can primitive. easy implement , understand, not clever be. secondly, algorithms perform work may or may not interested in. single-linkage hierarchical clustering computes hierarchy; dbscan minpts=2 single cut through hierarchy - much simpler result complete hierarchy. , last not least, there heuristics. of k-means variants fall last category: accepting miss global best solution, can of course become faster if performed exhaustive search.

jquery - How can I dynamically add a browser tab? -

since using iframes house external pages are, accounts "not preferred method" , disallowed sites (flickr, one), want dynamically generate browser tabs. e.g., when user submits form, want dynamically generate tab on browser in response submitted. e.g., might want add new tab url like: http://www.bigsurgarrapata.com/contact how in jquery? you want form target attribute action attribute. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp browsers have ultimate control on result of target attribute open new tab value of _blank. <form action="contact_submit.php" target="_blank" method="post">

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
