This is called a greedy agglomerative technique because each decision is based on the current best CU value (greedy) and the clustering is built up one item at a time (agglomerative). The math ...

As a solution to this visualization problem, we recommend using an agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm, which we call the exact linkage algorithm.

Clustering algorithms are used to generate clusters of elements having similar characteristics. Among the different groups of clustering algorithms, agglomerative algorithm is widely used in the ...

An agglomerative clustering method is outlined and its application is illustrated by reference to a classification of flood-plain communities. This method operates on metric distance and uses the ...
