Before revision:  We anticipate straightforward translation to many other fields where existing analysis tools , such as k-means and traditional hierarchical clustering, require ad hoc assumptions on the data structure or lack the interpretability of the present method . The method is also potentially generalizable to fields where the underlying processes are less accessible, such as genomics and neuroscience.
