摘要
In this work we consider hierarchical clustering algorithms, such as UPGMA, which follow the closest-pair joining scheme. We survey optimal O(n(2))-time implementations of such algorithms which use a 'locally closest' joining scheme, and specify conditions under which this relaxed joining scheme is equivalent to the original one (i.e. 'globally closest').
