mlr_learners_clust.hclust: Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Learner

mlr_learners_clust.hclustR Documentation

Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Learner

Description

A LearnerClust for agglomerative hierarchical clustering implemented in stats::hclust(). Difference Calculation is done by stats::dist()

Dictionary

This mlr3::Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr3::mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function mlr3::lrn():

mlr_learners$get("clust.hclust")
lrn("clust.hclust")

Meta Information

  • Task type: “clust”

  • Predict Types: “partition”

  • Feature Types: “logical”, “integer”, “numeric”

  • Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3cluster, 'stats'
