ब्लॉक मॉडलिंग के लिए एक नौकरी की तरह दिखता है। "ब्लॉक मॉडलिंग" के लिए Google और पहले कुछ हिट सहायक हैं।
कहें कि हमारे पास एक सहसंयोजक मैट्रिक्स है जहां N = 100 और वास्तव में 5 क्लस्टर हैं:
ब्लॉक मॉडलिंग क्या करने की कोशिश कर रहा है, पंक्तियों का एक क्रम ढूंढना है, ताकि क्लस्टर 'ब्लॉक' के रूप में स्पष्ट हो जाएं:
नीचे एक कोड उदाहरण है जो इसे पूरा करने के लिए एक बुनियादी लालची खोज करता है। यह शायद आपके 250-300 चर के लिए बहुत धीमा है, लेकिन यह एक शुरुआत है। देखें कि क्या आप टिप्पणियों के साथ अनुसरण कर सकते हैं:
