Words similar to centroid

Example sentences for: centroid

How can you use “centroid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Genes whose expression patterns are very similar to a given centroid will be assigned a high membership in that cluster, whereas genes that bear little similarity to the centroid will have a low membership.
The following clustering algorithms were used: seven hierarchical clustering methods (single linkage, average linkage, complete linkage, Ward's minimum variance, density linkage, centroid, and flexible-beta), a k-mean method, and an oblique principle component method employing either (1) Pearson correlation or (2) Spearman correlation based on rank.
An example of this is a centroid that represents genes that were strongly induced by amino-acid starvation (cluster 2 in Figure 5b).
For example, one centroid (cluster 61, Figure 5aand see [ 14]) represented genes that were strongly repressed in response to prolonged nitrogen starvation but induced by treatment with the sulfhydryl-rearranging drugs dithiothreitol (DTT) and diamide.
In the final step of the program, the membership of each gene to each centroid is calculated.
