This family includes the single, minimedian, and complete linkage clustering methods as special cases; its members are used in psychological and ecological applications. Since the literature on clustering space distortion is oriented to quantitative input data, we adapt its basic concepts to input data with only ordinal significance and analyze the space distortion properties of PLL methods. To enable PLL methods to be used when the numbern of objects being clustered is large, we describe an efficient PLL algorithm that operates inO(n 2 logn) time andO(n 2) space","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Journal of Classification","publication_status":"published","author":[{"last_name":"Day","full_name":"Day, William","first_name":"William"},{"last_name":"Edelsbrunner","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Herbert","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833"}],"doi":"10.1007/BF01908077","_id":"4114","date_published":"1985-12-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","year":"1985","publisher":"Springer","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":" 2","publist_id":"2006","oa_version":"None","issue":"2-3","title":"Investigation of Proportional Link Linkage Clustering Methods","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1"}
