Abstract
A method includes determining a plurality of data points, determining a distance between each data point and each of the other plurality of data points, choosing a first one of the plurality of data points, identifying all of the other plurality of data points within a maximum distance of the chosen data point, repeating steps the previous steps to choose a different one of the plurality of data points until all of the data points have been chosen, identifying one or more clusters each having a predefined minimum number, K, of data points within a predefined search radius and analyzing the one or more clusters with respect to K linkages.
