Complete-linkage clustering
open-in-new
<p>Complete-linkage clustering is one of several methods of agglomerative <a href="/facts/Hierarchical_clustering/KxXs6GPK">hierarchical clustering</a>. At the beginning of the process, each element is in a cluster of its own. The clusters are then sequentially combined into larger clusters until all elements end up being in the same cluster. The method is also known as farthest neighbour clustering. The result of the clustering can be visualized as a <a href="/facts/Dendrogram/FI8EMSEv">dendrogram</a>, which shows the sequence of cluster fusion and the distance at which each fusion took place. </p>
