Distances between Clustering, Hierarchical Clustering

The sum of squares measures distance equally in all directions, so it wants the clusters to be round. This is not always very sensible (see Figure 2). 2.2 Single-link Clustering Single-linkclustering de nes the distance between two clusters as the minimum distance between their members: d(A;B) min ~x2A;~y2B k~x ~yk (4)
