This application performs k Nearest Neighbor clustering to find clusters in geospatial data. For more information on k Nearest Neighbor clustering, please click here.

Clustering Tool

Step 1

Click the "Choose File" button and navigate to a csv file that contains at the minimum a latitude or Y column, a longitude or X column, and a value column.

A popup will appear. Choose the column for the latitude, longitude, and value that you wish to map and click "Ok".

Your points should be mapped. To view the value for each point, click on it.

Step 2

Click "Calculate" and a popup will appear. Enter the number of clusters you wish to calculate (between 2 and 10). The application may return fewer clusters than requested if the data does not support the requested number of clusters. Click "Compute Clusters".

Results

After a short time, the map should display your clustered layer. Each color represents a different cluster. You can clear the map to begin with a new dataset by clicking the "Clear" button.

Legend

The legend will automatically populate after you calculate clusters in your data.
