Hi everyone,
for my undergraduate research project, I'm looking for an R code for agglomerative clustering. Basically, I need to know what happened inside hclust method in R. I have looked everywhere but don't find a proper way to combine 2 data points that have the smallest distance. I was stuck at developing a dissimilarity matrix after the first phase of dissimilarity matrix generation(literally I have generated the first dissimilarity matrix). I'm not specifying R, if anyone could give me a solution in any language I would gratefully accept that.
