![]() | Linkage Methods |
The Linkage type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | CentroidLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the difference between centroids.
|
![]() ![]() | CompleteLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the greatest distance
between any two objects in the different clusters (furthest neighbors).
|
![]() ![]() | MedianLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the difference between centroids,
using the size of each cluster as a weighting factor.
|
![]() ![]() | SingleLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the distance of the
two closest objects (nearest neighbors) in the clusters.
|
![]() ![]() | UnweightedAverageLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the average distance between
all pairs of objects in the two different clusters.
|
![]() ![]() | WardLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters using Ward's method.
|
![]() ![]() | WeightedAverageLinkage |
Computes the distance between two clusters as the average distance between
all pairs of objects in the two different clusters, using the size of each
cluster as a weighting factor.
