Re: 3D test data that exhibits clustering?

Some algorithm based on the Artificial Termites?

For instance, generate some random points in a 3D space. Then simulate some termites moving randomly over that space that can take a point when it is near enough and then leave it when there is another one near enough (maybe using some probability functions).

At least in 2D, it can generate nice results. Red and green dots are the termites, blue dots are the wood (the clustered points). The program that generates it is available from Github here. update: now, also available from CPAN as AI::Termites.	[reply]
