public class NaiveAgglomerativeHierarchicalClustering1<O>
extends AbstractDistanceBasedAlgorithm<O,Result>

This tutorial will step you through implementing a well known clustering algorithm, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, in multiple steps.

This is the first step, where we implement it with single linkage only, and extract a fixed number of clusters. The follow up variants will be made more flexible.

This is the naive O(n³) algorithm. See SLINK for a much faster algorithm (however, only for single-linkage).
