Average group clustering

The cosine coefficient is also frequently used and is assumed for certain implementations of group-average clustering (as discussed later). The cosine coefficient is given by... 

Repeat the studies, selecting intermediate temperature values using the relationships between Pq and J values for water shown in Table 3.2. For example, use Pb(WW) = 0.50 and J(WW) = 0.71 in Example 3.2. Compare the fx values with the Studies in Examples 3. land 3.2. A plot of each value from Studies in 3.1 and 3.2 will reveal the influence on these attributes with and without a density consideration. Also compare the average cluster sizes between these two groups of studies. How much difference is found in the fx values when water density is accounted for ... 

Specific interactions between solvent and solute, such as hydrogen bonding, can cause quite large effects (as). It is not known whether the ASIS is caused by a time-averaged cluster of solvent molecules about a polar functional group or by a 1 1 solute-solvent charge transfer complex. In the latter case, the ASIS is more legitimately classified under as than under a. ... 

Table 9.3 A comparison of the single-linkage, complete-linkage and average-linkage cluster methods using the data in Table 92 The figures in parentheses indicate the distance between the clusters as they are formed In this particular case Ward s clustering follows the same order of cluster formation as the group average method.
