SimpleClusters	cluster(DataCollection data, int num_clusters, String filename) Performs clustering algorithm, and prints clusters to file
double	evaluate(DataCollection data, int num_clusters) Performs clustering algorithm and returns the score of the resulting clusters.
double	evaluate(DataCollection data, int num_clusters, String filename) Performs clustering algorithm, prints resulting clusters to file, and returns the score of the clusters.
String	toString() Returns String representation of Clustering Method, including clusters returned by clustering method
String	toXMLString() Returns XML String representation of Clustering Method, including clusters returned by clustering method
