It allows users to create a clusterer with the `ee.Clusterer.wekaCobweb` function. This function takes three arguments: `acuity` (minimum standard deviation, default 1), `cutoff` (minimum category utility, default 0.002), and `seed` (random number seed, default 42). The function returns a `Clusterer` object. References to academic papers by Fisher and Gennari, Langley, and Fisher are also provided for more information about the algorithm.\n"]]
