What is Hierarchical Clustering

Chapter 10
Handbook of Research on Democratic Strategies and Citizen-Centered E-Government Services
During the iterative process the clusters are formed either by splitting one into two new clusters or by merging two clusters into new one.

Abstract
This chapter is about documents and data clustering as a process of preparing the information resources stored in the e-government systems for advanced search. These resources are mainly represented as textual data stored as field values in the databases or located as documents in file repositories. Due to their growth in number, search for some specific information takes more time. Different techniques are used for this purpose. Most of them include information retrieval based on a variety of text similarity measures. The cost of such processing depends on preparation of resources for searching. Clustering represents the most commonly used technique for such a purpose, and this fact is the basic motive for this chapter.

C-MICRA: A Tool for Clustering Microarray Data
This involves the recursive clustering of data points, which may be agglomerative or divisive. An agglomerative clustering method starts with each case in a separate cluster and then combines the clusters sequentially, reducing the number of clusters at each step until only one cluster is left.?The divisive hierarchical clustering starts with all objects in one cluster and then subdivides them into smaller pieces.

Identifying Patterns in Fresh Produce Purchases: The Application of Machine Learning Techniques
The most common approach to clustering. The method proceeds sequentially, producing a nested assignment of objects into clusters. It is typically agglomerative, with cluster sizes increasing as the number of clusters decreases. At each step of the process, a clustering criterion based on a measure of proximity between groups must be computed to decide which groups of objects are to be joined together.

Production of Evidence-Based Informed Consent (EBIC) With Meaning Equivalence Reusable Learning Objects (MERLO): An Application on the Clinical Setting
Data driven statistical method used to place observations into groups (clusters) with a predetermined ordering from top to bottom. Each cluster contains “n” number of observations that are more similar between them than the ones contained in the other clusters.

Data Clustering
It is to build a hierarchical decomposition of data in either bottom-up or top-down way. Generally a dendrogram is generated and a user may select to cut it at a certain level to get the clusters.

Cluster Analysis of Gene Expression Data
A clustering method that finds successive clusters using previously established clusters. Hierarchical algorithms can be agglomerative (bottom-up) or divisive (top-down). Agglomerative algorithms begin with each element as a separate cluster and merge them into successively larger clusters. Divisive algorithms begin with the whole set and proceed to divide it into successively smaller clusters.
