Clustering Methods Overview

Hierarchical clustering starts by calculating the distance between all possible combinations of two rows or columns using a selected distance measure. These calculated distances are then used to derive the distance between all clusters that are formed from the rows or columns during the clustering. You can select one of the following clustering methods:

• UPGMA

• WPGMA

• Single Linkage

• Complete Linkage

• Ward's Method
