linkagemetoder
Linkage methods (linkagemetoder in Swedish) are techniques used in hierarchical clustering to determine the distance between clusters during the agglomerative process. At each step, two clusters are merged based on a chosen linkage criterion, which specifies how the distance between clusters should be computed from the pairwise distances of their members. The method chosen influences the shape and composition of the resulting clusters and affects the interpretation of the dendrogram.
Common linkage methods include single linkage, where the distance between two clusters is the minimum distance
The choice of linkage method depends on data characteristics and analysis goals. Single linkage emphasizes connectivity
