WARD kelley method problem

Hi





i need to calculate with the KELLY method the cluster number with ward.





i had generated the PF fingerprint with the command





generatemd c files.sdf -k PF -c pharma-frag.xml -D -o fingerprint.txt -v





when ward runs with the command





ward -f 1024 -g -K KELLY.txt < fingerprint.txt> neighborLs.txt





the output is





Error: For input string: "0.00"





i don't know how solve the problem.





Best Regards

The rub is with -f 1024 in

Code:

ward -f 1024 -g -K KELLY.txt < fingerprint.txt> neighborLs.txt

which attempts to read binary fingerprint (CF) form the input file. -f 1024 tells to read 1024 bits. In your file you use pharmacophore fingerprint which is represented by 210 decimal numbers (in case if you use the default settings...), not 1024 bits.





Therefore ward should be invoked like that:

Code:

ward -f 0 -m 210 ....

and the rest remains the same.





This tells that there are 0 bits but 210 decimal numbers (i.e. the dimensionality of the chemical space is 210).





Hope this helps, regards,


Miklos

Thank you very much





you have solve my problem.
