Hierarchical Clustering - Fun and Easy Machine Learning

Hierarchical Clustering - Fun and Easy Machine Learning with Examples Hierarchical Clustering Looking at the formal definition of Hierarchical clustering, as the name suggests is an algorithm that builds hierarchy of clusters. This algorithm starts with all the data points assigned to a cluster of their own. Then two nearest clusters are merged into the same cluster. In the end, this algorithm terminates when there is only a single cluster left. The results of hierarchical clustering can be shown using Dendogram as we seen before which can be thought of as binary tree Difference between K Means and Hierarchical clustering Hierarchical clustering can't handle big data well but K Means clustering can.
