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 ...

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

Sequential agglomerative hierarchical clustering schemes are considered in particular detail, and several new methods are proposed. The new algorithms are characterized by their ability to "adapt" to ...
