A dendrogram of the Tree of Life. This phylogenetic tree is adapted from Woese et al. rRNA analysis. [3] The vertical line at bottom represents the last universal common ancestor (LUCA). Heatmap of RNA-Seq data showing two dendrograms in the left and top margins. A dendrogram is a diagram representing a tree. This diagrammatic representation is ...
The hierarchical clustering dendrogram would be: Traditional representation. Cutting the tree at a given height will give a partitioning clustering at a selected precision. In this example, cutting after the second row (from the top) of the dendrogram will yield clusters {a} {b c} {d e} {f}. Cutting after the third row will yield clusters {a ...
The formula that should be adjusted has been highlighted using bold text. Complete linkage clustering avoids a drawback of the alternative single linkage method - the so-called chaining phenomenon , where clusters formed via single linkage clustering may be forced together due to single elements being close to each other, even though many of ...

UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) is a simple agglomerative (bottom-up) hierarchical clustering method. It also has a weighted variant, WPGMA, and they are generally attributed to Sokal and Michener.
The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest.

In statistics, and especially in biostatistics, cophenetic correlation [1] (more precisely, the cophenetic correlation coefficient) is a measure of how faithfully a dendrogram preserves the pairwise distances between the original unmodeled data points.
In the naive algorithm for agglomerative clustering, implementing a different linkage scheme may be accomplished simply by using a different formula to calculate inter-cluster distances in the algorithm. The formula that should be adjusted has been highlighted using bold text in the above algorithm description.
