CluGen
CluGen implements an algorithm for generating multidimensional clusters in Julia.
About CluGen
CluGen is a Julia implementation of the clugen algorithm for generating multidimensional clusters with arbitrary distributions. Each cluster is supported by a line segment, and the segment's position, orientation, and length determine where the cluster's points are placed. The repository includes a quick-start example that generates and plots 2D and 3D clusters.
The package is released under the MIT License. Documentation and examples are linked from the repository. The authors ask that users who use the software cite the 2023 paper "Generating multidimensional clusters with support lines" in Knowledge-Based Systems.
Key features
