In matrixcut: Determines Clustering Threshold Based on Similarity Values

Draws a Plot Showing the Number of Components as a Function of the Cutoff Value.

Description

The function takes a square sequence similarity matrix and calculates the number of independent components in which the sequence similarity between the members is greater than a specified value (between 0 and 1). It creates a plots showing the number of components corresponding to a given cutoff value. The function also depicts the inflection point with a vertical line. Upper and lower bounds can be provided between which the inflection point will be found (if it exists).

Value

A plot showing the number of components as a function of the cutoff threshold.
