... uses a bottom-up approach. It is also known as AGNIS, i.e., Agglomerative Analysis. Fig. 8 shows the steps of a basic agglomerative hierarchical algorithm in which, firstly, a distance matrix of the data points is calculated. Then, a data point present in the dataset is taken to be an individual cluster. The two individual clusters are amalgamated to form one single cluster and this process keeps on repeating till the ...
