Algorithms for hierarchical clustering: an overview, <scp>II</scp>

Description

<jats:p>We survey agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithms and discuss efficient implementations that are available in R and other software environments. We look at hierarchical self‐organizing maps and mixture models. We review grid‐based clustering, focusing on hierarchical density‐based approaches. Finally, we describe a recently developed very efficient (linear time) hierarchical clustering algorithm, which can also be viewed as a hierarchical grid‐based algorithm. This review adds to the earlier version, Murtagh F, Contreras P.
