  • Class
    Description
    An AgglomerationMethod represents the Lance-Williams dissimilarity update formula used for hierarchical agglomerative clustering.
    The "average", "group average", "unweighted average", or "Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic averages (UPGMA)", is a graph-based approach.
    The "centroid" or "Unweighted Pair-Group Method using Centroids (UPGMC)" method is a geometric approach that links the centroids of clusters.
    The "complete", "maximum", "clique", "furthest neighbor", or "furthest distance" method is a graph-based approach.
    The "median", "weighted centroid", "weighted center of mass distance", "Gower", or "Weighted Pair-Group Method using Centroids (WPGMC)" method is a geometric approach.
    The "single linkage", "minimum", "shortest distance", or "nearest neighbor" method is a graph-based approach.
    The "Ward", "inner squared distance", "sum of squares", "error sum of squares", or "minimum variance" method.
    The "weighted average", "McQuitty", or "Weighted Pair-Group Method using Arithmetic averages, or WPGMA)" method.
