HCL: Hierarchical Clustering
Parameter Information
Linkage Method
This parameter is used to indicate the convention
used for determining cluster-to-cluster distances
when constructing the hierarchical tree.
Single Linkage: The distances are measured between
each member of one cluster each member of the other
cluster. The minimum of these distances is considered
the cluster-to-cluster distance.
Average Linkage: The average distance of each member of
one cluster to each member of the other cluster is used
as a measure of cluster-to-cluster distance.
Complete Linkage: The distances are measured between
each member of one cluster each member of the other
cluster. The maximum of these distances is considered
the cluster-to-cluster distance.
Cluster Genes / Cluster Experiments Options
These checkboxes are used to indicate whether to cluster
genes, experiments, or both.
