Hierarchical Clustering
Learn about two types of hierarchical clustering - Divisive Clustering and Agglomerative Clustering.
Hierarchical clustering
Hierarchical clustering does not restrict the user to choose the number of the clusters before running the algorithm. Users can choose different values of K, and different clusters will be fixed. It uses the dendrogram type of formulation. When choosing a different K, the same computation will be used (no need to rerun the algorithm). We can also capture highly complex shapes of clusters.
Hierarchical clustering can be classified into two types:
