This library provides Python functions for hierarchical clustering. Its features include
- generating hierarchical clusters from distance matrices
- computing distance matrices from observation vectors
- computing statistics on clusters
- cutting linkages to generate flat clusters
- and visualizing clusters with dendrograms. The interface is very similar to MATLAB's Statistics Toolbox API to make code easier to port from MATLAB to Python/Numpy. The core implementation of this library is in C for efficiency.
It is a fork of clustering and distance functions from the scipy that removes all the dependencies on scipy. It preserves the API of hcluster 0.2.
