Namespace: Novacta.Analytics
Assembly: Novacta.Analytics (in Novacta.Analytics.dll) Version: 2.0.0

Syntax

public static double SingleLinkage(
	DoubleMatrix left,
	DoubleMatrix right
)

Public Shared Function SingleLinkage ( 
	left As DoubleMatrix,
	right As DoubleMatrix
) As Double

public:
static double SingleLinkage(
	DoubleMatrix^ left, 
	DoubleMatrix^ right
)

static member SingleLinkage : 
        left : DoubleMatrix * 
        right : DoubleMatrix -> float

Type: Double
The single linkage between the specified clusters.

Exceptions

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

Remarks

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 shortest Euclidean distance between pairs of individuals in which one belongs to cluster left, the other to cluster right.
