![]() | Linkage Class |
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. |
