Algorithms for hierarchical clustering: an overview
TL;DR: A recently developed very efficient (linear time) hierarchical clustering algorithm is described, which can also be viewed as a hierarchical grid‐based algorithm.

Methods of Hierarchical Clustering

TL;DR: A recently developed very efficient (linear time) hierarchical clustering algorithm is described, which can also be viewed as a hierarchical grid-based algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical Clustering of Massive, High Dimensional Data Sets by Exploiting Ultrametric Embedding
TL;DR: This work derives a hierarchical clustering from relationships between sets of observations, rather than the traditional use of relationships between the observations themselves, and uses embedding in a Baire space, or longest common prefix ultrametric space, to compare this second approach to k-means.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast, Linear Time Hierarchical Clustering using the Baire Metric
Pedro Contreras,Fionn Murtagh +1 more
TL;DR: The Baire metric induces an ultrametric on a dataset and is of linear computational complexity, contrasted with the standard quadratic time agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm, and this work evaluates empirically this new approach to hierarchical clustered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological markers of disease progression in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.

TL;DR: Monitoring both total lymphocytes and beta 2-microglobulin identified 91% of the AIDS patients; these assays may allow reductions in the annual number of CD4(+)-cell evaluations and the costs associated with monitoring the immune status of HIV-positive patients.
