Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am thadk on github.
I am thadk (https://keybase.io/thadk) on keybase.
I have a public key whose fingerprint is DC8A 559C 705B E573 4F97 24C2 25F7 11E7 E430 C1DC

To claim this, I am signing this object:

Demonstrating jenks natural breaks implemented in simple-statistics. "Ckmeans clustering is an improvement on heuristic-based clustering approaches like Jenks." It is "a dynamic programming approach to the problem of clustering numeric data into groups with the least within-group sum-of-squared-deviations"

Rendered by d3js, based on an example by Mike Bostock and Tom MacWright's original comparison with quantize.

More on ckmeans is in the Simple-Statistics documentation. Also see the PR removing Jenks here and the original narrative on how Jenks algorithm was reimplemented through Tom's literature review.
