Sample Output Using Actual Data The following are samples of output from a run using the actual term- term matrix. These samples are presented in order of decreasing cutoff value. The first example includes the list structure for cutoff value K = 0.20, the level structure for K = 0.20, and the hierarchy graph for K = 0.20; for the other values of K, only the graphs are shown. As an illustration of the transition phenomenon, consider the relation between concepts 75 and 85. When K = 0.20, these concepts are isola[OCRerr]ed; when K = 0.18, 85 is the parent of 75; when K = 0.085, they are brothers.
