Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering
Taking the community world map as a example
- HAC is a machine learning algorithm
- The algorithm recursively merges the pair of clusters that minimally increases the linkage distance
- The linkage distance is the average euclidean distance of the airport radian coordinates
- More information about HAC on Wikipedia
Airports of the cluster center in the example
- Stockholm Vasteras Hasslo Airport, Sweden
- Cork Airport, Ireland
- Sharm el-Sheikh International, Egypt
- New Orleans Louis Armstrong International, United States
