A dendrogram from Greek language Greek dendron tree , gramma drawing is a Tree graph theory tree diagram frequently used to illustrate the arrangement of the clusters produced by hierarchical clustering . Dendrograms are often used in computational biology to illustrate the clustering of gene s or samples. For a clustering example, suppose this data is to be clustered using Euclidean distance as the Metric mathematics distance metric .

Hierarchical clustering is one method for finding community structure s in a network. The technique arranges the network into a hierarchy of groups according to a specified weight function. The data can then be represented in a tree structure known as a dendrogram . Hierarchical clustering can either be agglomerative or divisive depending on whether one proceeds through the algorithm by adding links to or removing links from the network, respectively. One divisive technique is the Girvan Newman algorithm .

USA 99 , 7821 7826 2002 . ref In the hierarchical clustering algorithm, a weight math W ij math is first assigned to each pair of vertices math i,j math in the network. The weight, which can vary depending on implementation see section below , is intended to indicate how closely related the vertices are. Then, starting with all the nodes in the network disconnected, begin pairing nodes in order of decreasing weight between the pairs in the divisive case, start from the original network and remove links in order of decreasing weight . As links are added, connected subsets begin to form. These represent the network s community structures. The components at each iterative step are always a subset of other structures. Hence, the subsets can be represented using a tree diagram, or dendrogram . Horizontal slices of the tree at a given level indicate the communities that exist above and below a value of the weight.

In statistics , and especially in biostatistics , cophenetic correlation ref Sokal, R. R. and F. J. Rohlf. 1962. The comparison of dendrograms by objective methods. Taxon, 11 33 40 ref more precisely, the cophenetic correlation coefficient is a measure of how faithfully a dendrogram preserves the pairwise distances between the original unmodeled data points. Although it has been most widely applied in the field of biostatistics typically to assess cluster based models of DNA sequences, or other taxonomic models , it can also be used in other fields of inquiry where raw data tend to occur in clumps, or clusters. ref Dorthe B.

UPGMA U nweighted P air G roup M ethod with A rithmetic Mean is a simple agglomerative or hierarchical clustering method used in bioinformatics for the creation of phenetic phylogenetic trees trees phenograms . UPGMA assumes a constant rate of evolution molecular clock hypothesis , and is not a well regarded method for inferring relationships unless this assumption has been tested and justified for the data set being used. UPGMA was initially designed for use in protein electrophoresis studies, but is currently most often used to produce guide trees for more sophisticated phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms. The algorithm examines the structure present in a pairwise distance matrix or a similarity matrix to then construct a rooted tree dendrogram . At each step, the nearest two clusters are combined into a higher level cluster. The distance between any two clusters A and B is taken to be the average of all distances between pairs of objects x in A and y in B, that is, the mean distance between elements of each cluster math 1 over mathcal A cdot mathcal B sum x in mathcal A sum y in mathcal B d x,y math The method is generally attributed to Sokal and Michener. ref cite journal author Sokal R and Michener C title A statistical method for evaluating systematic relationships journal University of Kansas Science Bulletin volume 38 pages 1409 1438 year 1958 ref Fionn Murtagh found a time optimal math O n 2 math time algorithm to construct the UPGMA tree. ref cite journal author Murtagh F title Complexities of Hierarchic Clustering Algorithms the state of the art journal Computational Statistics Quarterly volume 1 pages 101 113 year 1984 ref See also Neighbor joining Cluster analysis Single linkage clustering Complete linkage clustering Hierarchical clustering References Reflist External links http ai4r.rubyforge.org UPGMA clustering algorithm implementation in Ruby AI4R http books.google.de books?id KBoHuoNRO5MC&pg PA319&lpg PA319&dq UPGMA clustering&source bl&ots 9t 4 ... more details

A signal black , multi scale smoothed versions of it red , and segment averages blue based on scale space segmentation Image Dendrogram.png right thumb 300px The dendrogram corresponding to the segmentations in the figure above. Each × identifies the position of an extremum of the first derivative of one of 15 smoothed versions of the signal red for maxima, blue for minima . Each identifies the position that the extremum tracks back to at the finest scale. The signal features that persist to the highest scale smoothest version are evident as the tall structures that correspond to the major segment boundaries in the figure above. Scale space segmentation or multi scale segmentation is a general framework for signal and image segmentation, based on the computation of image descriptors at multiple scales of smoothing. One dimensional hierarchical signal segmentation Witkin s seminal work in scale space ref Witkin, A. P. Scale space filtering , Proc. 8th Int. Joint Conf. Art. Intell., Karlsruhe, Germany,1019 1022, 1983. ref ref A. Witkin, Scale space filtering A new approach to multi scale description, in Proc. IEEE Int. Conf. Acoust., Speech, Signal Processing ICASSP , vol. 9, San Diego, CA, Mar. 1984, pp. 150 153. ref included the notion that a one dimensional signal could be unambiguously segmented into regions, with one scale parameter controlling the scale of segmentation. A key observation is that the zero crossings of the second derivatives minima and maxima of the first derivative or slope of multi scale smoothed versions of a signal form a nesting tree, which defines hierarchical relations between segments at different scales. Specifically, slope extrema at coarse scales can be traced back to corresponding features at fine scales. When a slope maximum and slope minimum annihilate each other at a larger scale, the three segments that they separa ... more details
Evolutionary taxonomy , evolutionary systematics or Darwinian classification is a branch of biological classification that seeks to classify organism s using a combination of Phylogenetics phylogenetic relationship and overall similarity. This type of taxonomy considers taxa rather than single species, so that groups of species give rise to new groups. The concept found its current form in the modern evolutionary synthesis of the early 1940s. Evolutionary taxonomy differs from strict pre Darwinian Linnaean taxonomy , which produces orderly lists rather than Phylogenetic tree trees . Also, unlike cladistics cladism which only maps phylogeny, evolutionary taxonomy also offer a biological biological classification classification system . ref name Mayr Bock 2002 While in phylogeny where each taxon must consist of a single ancestral node and all its descendants, evolutionary taxonomy allows for groups to be excluded from their parent taxa e.g. dinosaurs are not considered to include birds, but to have given rise to them , thus allowing for paraphyly paraphyletic taxa. ref name grant2003 citation url http www.amjbot.org cgi content full 90 9 1263 doi 10.3732 ajb.90.9.1263 title Incongruence between cladistic and taxonomic systems year 2003 author Grant, V. journal American Journal of Botany volume 90 issue 9 page 1263 ref Origin of evolutionary taxonomy File Edward Hitchcock Paleontological Chart.jpg right thumb Pre evolutionary Tree of Life , 1840.
