Hi,
Welcome to the wild world of cluster analysis, where everything's made
up and the points don't matter. (Sorry for the "Whose Line Is It
Anyway" reference, I couldn't resist:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whose_Line_Is_It_Anyway%3F)
First off, if you haven't already I recommend that you read the
classic Shao Cheatham et al. paper on clustering MD simulation data:
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ct700119m
Second, to answer your question, since you've requested that the
cluster population vs time (frame) plots be normalized by frame (via
'normframe') each data point at frame X is just:
ClusterNpopVsTime(X) = PopulationOfClusterN / X
The reason the population of cluster 9 starts at 1 is the first frame
is in cluster 9. After about 50 frames or so it looks like (the colors
are a bit washed out in the picture) the structure falls into cluster
7, so the population of that cluster starts to rise and the population
of 9 starts to fall. As the simulation continues the structure falls
into cluster 2, then 5, and so on and so on. By the end of the
simulation the final values of the cluster population vs time plot
should match up with the final cluster population values from the
'summary' file. Cpptraj sorts clusters by population, so cluster 0 is
just the cluster that ends up having the most structures assigned to
it (the cluster 'centroid' is a much different concept and is unique
to each cluster).
Hope this helps,
-Dan
