Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Total linkage shows the distance between two groups. Will result in information about the current group as well as the opposing group.

1 2	total_linkage(matrix_1, matrix_2, distance = "euclidean", name_1 = NULL, name_2 = NULL, method = "all")

`matrix_1`	Data for cluster 1. Cell by reduced dimension components
`matrix_2`	Data for cluster 2 . Cell by reduced dimension components
`distance`	Point to point distance method to use. e.g. 'euclidean'.
`name_1`	name of matrix_1 group
`name_2`	name of matrix_2 group
`method`	Cells in matrix_1 to test. "all" or "one". This is primarily done to speed up the calculation process.

Total linkage measures distance to every point in the dataset from every point in one group of the dataset. It is possible to change the method to only measure the linkage for one cell instead of all the cells. This could be chosen in order to speed up the calculation process. If "one" is chosen then only one cell in group 1 will be used. This cell is chosen because it is furthest away from the mean of group 2.

Dataframe where column 1 is group label and column 2 is distance information
