The similarity between two clusters i and j is calculated as follows:
Term | Description |
---|---|
sij | similarity between clusters i and j |
dij | distance between clusters i and j |
dmax | If you entered the original distance matrix D, dmax is the maximum value in the original distance matrix, D. If D was calculated from data, then dmax = 2 if you selected correlation as the distance measure and 1 if you selected absolute correlation. |
