 | Linkage Methods |
The Linkage type exposes the following members.
Methods| 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. |
