fastcluster (version 1.1.1)
Fast hierarchical clustering routines for R and Python
Description
This is a two-in-one package which provides interfaces to
both R and Python. It implements fast hierarchical,
agglomerative clustering routines. Part of the functionality is
designed as drop-in replacement for existing routines:
“linkage” in the SciPy package “scipy.cluster.hierarchy”,
“hclust” in R's “stats” package, and the “flashClust” package.
It provides the same functionality, with the benefit of a much
faster implementation. Moreover, there are memory-saving
routines for clustering of vector data, which go beyond what
the existing packages provide. For information on how to
install the Python files, see the file INSTALL in the source
distribution.
