Hierarchical Clustering

Build a hierarchy of clusters using agglomerative (bottom-up) approach. Watch points merge step by step based on linkage criteria.

Hierarchical Clustering creates a hierarchy of clusters:

Clustering Types:

Agglomerative (Bottom-up): Start with each point as a cluster, merge closest pairs
Divisive (Top-down): Start with one cluster, recursively split into smaller ones

Linkage Types:

Unsupervised clustering

Density-based spatial clustering

Probabilistic soft clustering
