Hierarchical clustering is a method of cluster analysis that seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters by either a bottom-up approach (agglomerative) or a top-down approach (divisive). This technique organizes data points into nested groups, allowing for an intuitive understanding of the relationships between them. It's particularly useful in multivariate analysis and unsupervised learning, as it helps to reveal the structure in data without prior labeling.
congrats on reading the definition of hierarchical clustering. now let's actually learn it.
