Discuss the various linkage methods for clustering.

Following are the methods of linkage used by Hierarchical clustering algorithm:

1. Single Linkage: It is a distance based criteria and measures minimum pairwise distance.
2. Complete Linkage: It is a distance based criteria and measures maximum pairwise distance.
3. Centroid Linkage: It is a distance based criteria and measures distance between centroids.
4. Ward’s Linkage: It is a cluster similarity based criteria and measures distance between centroids.
