    Summary

    This paper details cluster analysis programs for classifying data, including human mitotic chromosomes. The methods support both hierarchic and non-hierarchic clustering techniques for robust data grouping.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Biology
    • Bioinformatics
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Cluster analysis is crucial for grouping similar data points.
    • Existing methods require efficient algorithms for complex datasets.
    • Classification of biological data, such as chromosomes, benefits from advanced clustering.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the theoretical basis and features of novel cluster analysis programs.
    • To present programs capable of handling N x M matrices for data analysis.
    • To demonstrate the application of these programs in classifying human mitotic chromosomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Input data as an N x M matrix.
    • Calculation of cross-correlation matrix (R) and dissimilarity matrix (D).

  • Implementation of both hierarchic (agglomerative algorithm, dendrogram) and non-hierarchic clustering techniques.

    • Main Results:

    • Programs successfully calculate distance histograms and perform significance tests.
    • Non-hierarchic strategy separates non-overlapping clusters and calculates inter-group distances.
    • Hierarchic clustering generates a dendrogram for visualizing data structure.

    Conclusions:

    • The described cluster analysis programs offer versatile tools for data classification.
    • Both hierarchic and non-hierarchic approaches are effectively implemented.
    • The programs are validated through the classification of human mitotic chromosomes.
