Welcome to the AutoClass C Documentation!  

The documentation is divided into a basic core that most users will need
to at least skim through, and various other supporting documentation.


BASIC DOCUMENTATION:

   preparation-c.text        How to prepare data for use by AutoClass

   search-c.text             How to run AutoClass to find classifications.

   reports-c.text            How to examine the classification in various ways.

   interpretation-c.text     How to interpret AutoClass results.

   checkpoint-c.text	     Protocols for running a checkpointed search.

   prediction-c.text         Use classifications to predict class membership for
                             new cases.  

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:

   classes-c.text            What classification is all about, for beginners.
	
   models-c.text             Brief descriptions of the model term implementations.
