scipy.cluster.hierarchy.average¶
- scipy.cluster.hierarchy.average(y)[source]¶
Performs average/UPGMA linkage on a condensed distance matrix
Parameters: y : ndarray
The upper triangular of the distance matrix. The result of pdist is returned in this form.
Returns: Z : ndarray
A linkage matrix containing the hierarchical clustering. See linkage for more information on its structure.
