LinkageFunction Delegate

Functor that computes the linkage (similarity) between two groups.

Namespace: CenterSpace.NMath.Core
Assembly: NMath (in NMath.dll) Version: 7.4
Syntax
public delegate double Function(
	double Drp,
	double Drq,
	double Dpq,
	double Nr,
	double Np,
	double Nq
)

Parameters

Drp  Double
 
Drq  Double
 
Dpq  Double
 
Nr  Double
 
Np  Double
 
Nq  Double
 

Return Value

Double
Remarks
During cluster analysis when two groups P and Q are united, a Linkage.Function computes the distance between the new group P + Q and another group R. The parameters to the Linkage.Function--which may not necessarily all be used to calculate the result--are the distance between R and P, the distance between R and Q, the distance between P and Q, and the sizes (n) of all three groups.
