[AMBER] davies bouldin index and DME

Dear Amber Users,

I have been looking carefully at the clustering tools in ptraj in particular
the cluster validity testing using the davies bouldin index (DBI). If my
set measure is RMSD then I am able to reproduce the DBI when I calculate it
"by hand" using ptraj... i.e taking the RMSD of each centroid with the
others and applying the DBI formula. However, when I take the set measure
to be the DME then I am unable to reproduce the values that ptraj
calculates. In this case ptraj obviously ptraj doesn't have a DME command
but it is easy enough to use the distance command and calculate this matrix
by hand. My question is: how is ptraj calculating the DBI when the set
measure is DME?

Thanks in advance, Geoff
