Cross-linkages in the Concise Columbia Encyclopedia (1989 2nd ed., online version). A set of data relating to 12025 encyclopedia entries and to 9778 cross-references or links was rebinned 10-fold for computational convenience to produce the 1203 times 978 entries by links array used here. The following image shows part of this array, subsequent to row/column permutation to force nonzero values as far as possible onto the diagonal.
Now we seek to find the most important "knots" or clusters. The following is a filtered version.

mr_detect in.fits out.fits
mr_detect -m 9 in.fits out.fits (poisson few events)
mr_detect -m 9 -w 2 in.fits out.fits
(produces ellipses around clusters)
mr_detect -m 9 -w 2 -L 3 -F 5 in.fits out.fits
(start and finish scales for cluster detection)
The above figures are from SAOtng.
