scipy.cluster.hierarchy.is_monotonic

scipy.cluster.hierarchy.is_monotonic(Z)

Returns True if the linkage passed is monotonic. The linkage is monotonic if for every cluster s and t joined, the distance between them is no less than the distance between any previously joined clusters.

Arguments :
  • Z : ndarray The linkage matrix to check for monotonicity.
Returns :
  • b : bool A boolean indicating whether the linkage is monotonic.
