In [[data mining]], '''hierarchical clustering''' is a method of [[cluster analysis]] which seeks to build a [[hierarchy]] of clusters. Strategies for hierarchical clustering generally fall into two types: {{Cn|date=December 2013}} | |||
*'''Agglomerative''': This is a "bottom up" approach: each observation starts in its own cluster, and pairs of clusters are merged as one moves up the hierarchy. | |||
*'''Divisive''': This is a "top down" approach: all observations start in one cluster, and splits are performed recursively as one moves down the hierarchy. | |||
In general, the merges and splits are determined in a [[greedy algorithm|greedy]] manner. The results of hierarchical clustering are usually presented in a [[dendrogram]]. | |||
In the general case, the complexity of agglomerative clustering is <math>\mathcal{O}(n^3)</math>, which makes them too slow for large data sets. Divisive clustering with an exhaustive search is <math>\mathcal{O}(2^n)</math>, which is even worse. However, for some special cases, optimal efficient agglomerative methods (of complexity <math>\mathcal{O}(n^2)</math>) are known: SLINK<ref name="SLINK">{{cite journal | author=R.

== Cluster dissimilarity == | |||
In order to decide which clusters should be combined (for agglomerative), or where a cluster should be split (for divisive), a measure of dissimilarity between sets of observations is required. In most methods of hierarchical clustering, this is achieved by use of an appropriate [[metric (mathematics)|metric]] (a measure of [[distance]] between pairs of observations), and a linkage criterion which specifies the dissimilarity of sets as a function of the pairwise distances of observations in the sets. | |||
=== Metric === | |||
{{See|metric (mathematics)}} | |||
The choice of an appropriate metric will influence the shape of the clusters, as some elements may be close to one another according to one distance and farther away according to another. For example, in a 2-dimensional space, the distance between the point (1,0) and the origin (0,0) is always 1 according to the usual norms, but the distance between the point (1,1) and the origin (0,0) can be 2, <math>\scriptstyle\sqrt{2}</math> or 1 under Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance or maximum distance respectively. | |||

== Discussion == | |||
Hierarchical clustering has the distinct advantage that any valid measure of distance can be used. In fact, the observations themselves are not required: all that is used is a matrix of distances. | |||
== Example for Agglomerative Clustering == | |||
For example, suppose this data is to be clustered, and the [[Euclidean distance]] is the [[Metric (mathematics)|distance metric]]. | |||
Cutting the tree at a given height will give a partitioning clustering at a selected precision. In this example, cutting after the second row of the dendrogram will yield clusters {a} {b c} {d e} {f}. Cutting after the third row will yield clusters {a} {b c} {d e f}, which is a coarser clustering, with a smaller number of larger clusters. | |||
[[Image:Clusters.svg|frame|none|Raw data]] | |||
The hierarchical clustering [[dendrogram]] would be as such: | |||
[[Image:Hierarchical clustering simple diagram.svg|frame|none|Traditional representation]] | |||
This method builds the hierarchy from the individual elements by progressively merging clusters. In our example, we have six elements {a} {b} {c} {d} {e} and {f}. The first step is to determine which elements to merge in a cluster. Usually, we want to take the two closest elements, according to the chosen distance. | |||
Optionally, one can also construct a [[distance matrix]] at this stage, where the number in the ''i''-th row ''j''-th column is the distance between the ''i''-th and ''j''-th elements. Then, as clustering progresses, rows and columns are merged as the clusters are merged and the distances updated. This is a common way to implement this type of clustering, and has the benefit of caching distances between clusters. A simple agglomerative clustering algorithm is described in the [[single-linkage clustering]] page; it can easily be adapted to different types of linkage (see below). | |||
Suppose we have merged the two closest elements ''b'' and ''c'', we now have the following clusters {''a''}, {''b'', ''c''}, {''d''}, {''e''} and {''f''}, and want to merge them further. To do that, we need to take the distance between {a} and {b c}, and therefore define the distance between two clusters. | |||
Usually the distance between two clusters <math>\mathcal{A}</math> and <math>\mathcal{B}</math> is one of the following: | |||
* The maximum distance between elements of each cluster (also called [[complete-linkage clustering]]): | |||
::<math> \max \{\, d(x,y) : x \in \mathcal{A},\, y \in \mathcal{B}\,\}. </math> | |||
* The minimum distance between elements of each cluster (also called [[single-linkage clustering]]): | |||
::<math> \min \{\, d(x,y) : x \in \mathcal{A},\, y \in \mathcal{B} \,\}. </math> | |||
* The mean distance between elements of each cluster (also called average linkage clustering, used e.g. in [[UPGMA]]): | |||
::<math> {1 \over {|\mathcal{A}|\cdot|\mathcal{B}|}}\sum_{x \in \mathcal{A}}\sum_{ y \in \mathcal{B}} d(x,y). </math> | |||
* The sum of all intra-cluster variance. | |||
* The increase in variance for the cluster being merged ([[Ward's method]]<ref name="<ref name="wards method"/>) | |||
* The probability that candidate clusters spawn from the same distribution function (V-linkage). | |||
Each agglomeration occurs at a greater distance between clusters than the previous agglomeration, and one can decide to stop clustering either when the clusters are too far apart to be merged (distance criterion) or when there is a sufficiently small number of clusters (number criterion). | |||

In data mining, hierarchical clustering is a method of cluster analysis which seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters. Strategies for hierarchical clustering generally fall into two types: Template:Cn
- Agglomerative: This is a "bottom up" approach: each observation starts in its own cluster, and pairs of clusters are merged as one moves up the hierarchy.
- Divisive: This is a "top down" approach: all observations start in one cluster, and splits are performed recursively as one moves down the hierarchy.
In general, the merges and splits are determined in a greedy manner. The results of hierarchical clustering are usually presented in a dendrogram.
In the general case, the complexity of agglomerative clustering is , which makes them too slow for large data sets. Divisive clustering with an exhaustive search is , which is even worse. However, for some special cases, optimal efficient agglomerative methods (of complexity ) are known: SLINK[1] for single-linkage and CLINK[2] for complete-linkage clustering.
Cluster dissimilarity
In order to decide which clusters should be combined (for agglomerative), or where a cluster should be split (for divisive), a measure of dissimilarity between sets of observations is required. In most methods of hierarchical clustering, this is achieved by use of an appropriate metric (a measure of distance between pairs of observations), and a linkage criterion which specifies the dissimilarity of sets as a function of the pairwise distances of observations in the sets.
Metric
The choice of an appropriate metric will influence the shape of the clusters, as some elements may be close to one another according to one distance and farther away according to another. For example, in a 2-dimensional space, the distance between the point (1,0) and the origin (0,0) is always 1 according to the usual norms, but the distance between the point (1,1) and the origin (0,0) can be 2, or 1 under Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance or maximum distance respectively.
Some commonly used metrics for hierarchical clustering are:[3]

Euclidean distance | |
squared Euclidean distance | |
Manhattan distance | |

Mahalanobis distance | where S is the covariance matrix |
cosine similarity |
For text or other non-numeric data, metrics such as the Hamming distance or Levenshtein distance are often used.
A review of cluster analysis in health psychology research found that the most common distance measure in published studies in that research area is the Euclidean distance or the squared Euclidean distance.Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble. Was especially enthused after visiting Alejandro de Humboldt National Park.
Linkage criteria
The linkage criterion determines the distance between sets of observations as a function of the pairwise distances between observations.
Some commonly used linkage criteria between two sets of observations A and B are:[4][5]
Names | Formula |
---|---|
Maximum or complete linkage clustering | |
Minimum or single-linkage clustering | |

where d is the chosen metric. Other linkage criteria include:
- The sum of all intra-cluster variance.
- The decrease in variance for the cluster being merged (Ward's criterion).[6]
- The probability that candidate clusters spawn from the same distribution function (V-linkage).
- The product of in-degree and out-degree on a k-nearest-neighbor graph (graph degree linkage).[7]
- The increment of some cluster descriptor (i.e., a quantity defined for measuring the quality of a cluster) after merging two clusters.[8] [9] [10]
