Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Artifact Description
This research primarily focused on finding differences in various distancing methods used in the k-means clustering algorithm. The distancing methods used throughout the experiment are the Euclidean, Manhattan, and Earth Movers Distance. To accomplish this task, code in Python, wrapped around some C and Fortran code, was used to process images and determine the quality of the clusters made in the algorithm. The tests executed were performed on a ground truth to determine the quality of the measurements. For this experiment, Kylberg’s Texture Set was used as that primary ground truth. After initial results were determined, with an assumed cluster count of 28 (1 cluster per texture), further testing was required to search for significant differences in the data. So, the cluster count was optimized using a Q-test and the Anderson-Darling Statistic. All the optimization data was used to find more accurate results of the primary experiment, and the cluster count, for Kylberg’s Texture set, was actually optimized around 400 or 500. Results for the k-means clustering run on Kylberg’s Texture set clusters, using the optimized cluster count, are not included in this paper.
