public interface ClusteringAlgorithm<C extends Clustering<? extends Model>>
extends Algorithm

Interface for Algorithms that are capable to provide a Clustering as Result. in general, clustering algorithms are supposed to implement the Algorithm-Interface. The more specialized interface ClusteringAlgorithm requires an implementing algorithm to provide a special result class suitable as a partitioning of the database. More relaxed clustering algorithms are allowed to provide a result that is a fuzzy clustering, does not partition the database complete or is in any other sense a relaxed clustering result.
