Mathematical Modeling
Hierarchical clustering is a method of cluster analysis that seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters by either a divisive approach (starting with one cluster and dividing it) or an agglomerative approach (starting with individual points and merging them). This technique is useful for understanding data structures and can visualize relationships through dendrograms, making it particularly applicable in network models and machine learning contexts.
congrats on reading the definition of Hierarchical clustering. now let's actually learn it.
