On the properties of α-unchaining single linkage hierarchical clustering

Abstract

In the election of a hierarchical clustering method, theoretic properties may give some insight to determine which method is the most suitable to treat a clustering problem. Herein, we study some basic properties of two hierarchical clustering methods: -unchaining single linkage or SL() and a modified version of this one, SL^*(). We compare the results with the properties satisfied by the classical linkage-based hierarchical clustering methods.
