Claim One:
1. A method for arranging large datasets into clusters comprising: (a) obtaining a large dataset containing N data points specified by a length, (b) determining a distance d ij between the data points 1 , … ⁢ ⁢ i , … ⁢ ⁢ j , … ⁢ ⁢ N ⁡ ( N - 1 ) 2 , (c) obtaining a relationship between distances and the number of clusters, wherein the distances are added in ascending order and the number of connected data points are the clusters, wherein said relationship is determined by the steps of plotting the relationship on a graph of distance versus number of clusters, joining the endpoints of the graph of said plotting step with a line and translating the line to the closest position from the origin where the intersection of the line with the graph is n*, d*, wherein n* is the number of clusters and d* is the longest distance of the nearest co-cluster points, or its mathematical and computer science equivalent of these steps for determining said relationship.
