Double
The average linkage between the specified clusters.

A cluster is defined as a set of multidimensional points. The rows of left or right are interpreted as the multidimensional points in the cluster.

This method returns the average Euclidean distance between pairs of individuals in which one belongs to cluster left, the other to cluster right.

ArgumentNullException	left is null. -or- right is null.
ArgumentException	right has not the same NumberOfColumns of left.
