clm meet - compute the intersection of a set of clusterings.
clmmeet is not in actual fact a program. This manual page documents the
behaviour and options of the clm program when invoked in mode
meet. The
options
-h,
--apropos,
--version,
-set,
--nop are accessible in all
clm modes. They are described in the
clm manual page.

clm meet computes the intersection of a set of clusterings, that is, the
largest clustering that is a subclustering of all the clusterings in the set.
It stores the intersection (or meet) in the argument to the
-o flag,
which must be the first option given. All remaining arguments are interpreted
as names of files containing clusterings in mcl format (see
mcxio(5)),
which must all pertain to a set of the same cardinality.
This utility can be useful in measuring (in conjunction with
clm dist)
the consistency of a set of clusterings at different levels of granularity -
if the meet of all those clusterings is close to being a subclustering of each
of them, consistency is good. See
clm dist for an example.
