.. class:: warningmark

This tool requires tabular data in matrix2png format (with column AND row headers). For more information about the required format and usage instructions, see the matrix2png_ website.

.. class:: infomark

You can use the "Align values in a matrix" tool to create a matrix, then use this tool to cluster the matrix with k-means.

.. class:: infomark

**TIP:** You can use the **min** and **max** columns to cluster a large matrix based on a subset of the columns. For example, you could cluster a 4000x4000 matrix on columns 200-300 by setting min = 200 and max = 300. This will greatly increase the efficiency of distance calculations during the k-means EM, and also allows you to cluster based on specific regions, such as promoters or coding sequences.

This tool will cluster the rows in an aligned matrix with KMeans_. The implementation builds upon the KMeansPlusPlusClusterer available in commons-math3_.
