MPCluster for Maptitude
Cluster Analysis for Caliper Maptitude
MPCluster is an add-in utility for Caliper's Maptitude GIS application to perform cluster analysis of user data. MPCluster provides a number of parameters to control the number and size of clusters, and implements two different cluster analysis algorithms. Output can be written to a Maptitude Data View, or as new layers. It can also be written to a Microsoft Excel workbook. The Professional License for MPCluster also includes the ability to introduce fixed clusters, and to apply layer overlays.
MPCluster requires a PC running Windows 7, 8, 10, or Vista; and Caliper Maptitude (2014 or later). The Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0 (or later) is also required. Microsoft Excel (2003 or later) is required if you wish to export the resulting data to an Excel workbook.
