Enum Constant Details

COMPLETE

public static final ClusterLinkage COMPLETE

Complete linkage. Distance between clusters is defined as the distance between the most distant pair of examples.

SINGLE

public static final ClusterLinkage SINGLE

Single linkage. The distance between clusters is defined as the distance between the closest pair of examples.

AVERAGE

public static final ClusterLinkage AVERAGE

Average linkage (also called UPGMALinkage). The distance between two clusters is the mean distance of all possible pairs of examples.

WARD

public static final ClusterLinkage WARD

Ward's linkage. WardLinkage

CENTROID

public static final ClusterLinkage CENTROID

Centroid linkage (also called UPGMCLinkage). The distance between two clusters is the Euclidean distance between their centroids.

MEDIAN

public static final ClusterLinkage MEDIAN

Median linkage (also called WPGMCLinkage - Weighted Pair Group Method using Centroids). The distance between two clusters is the Euclidean distance between their weighted centroids.

WPGMA

public static final ClusterLinkage WPGMA

WPGMA linkage (Weighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean). WPGMALinkage).

Method Details

values

public static ClusterLinkage[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ClusterLinkage valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
