public class SimplifiedHierarchyExtraction
extends java.lang.Object
implements ClusteringAlgorithm<Clustering<DendrogramModel>>

Extraction of simplified cluster hierarchies, as proposed in HDBSCAN.

In contrast to the authors top-down approach, we use a bottom-up approach based on the more efficient pointer representation introduced in SLINK.
