However, in single linkage clustering, the order in which clusters are formed is important, while for minimum spanning trees what matters is the set of pairs of points that form distances chosen by the algorithm. Alternative linkage schemes include complete linkage clustering, average linkage clustering (UPGMA and WPGMA), and Ward's method. In ...
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 ...
Complete linkage clustering avoids a drawback of the alternative single linkage clustering 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 the elements in each cluster may be very distant to each other ...

(Single-linkage also obeys a Lance–Williams formula, [9] [11] but with a negative coefficient from which it is more difficult to prove reducibility.) As with complete linkage and average distance, the difficulty of calculating cluster distances causes the nearest-neighbor chain algorithm to take time and space O ( n 2 ) to compute the single ...

Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some specific sense defined by the analyst) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters).
The standard algorithm for hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) has a time complexity of () and requires () memory, which makes it too slow for even medium data sets. . However, for some special cases, optimal efficient agglomerative methods (of complexity ()) are known: SLINK [2] for single-linkage and CLINK [3] for complete-linkage clusteri
