The _________ linkage method in Hierarchical Clustering minimizes the variance of the distances between clusters.
- Average Linkage
- Complete Linkage
- Single Linkage
- Ward's Method
Ward's Method minimizes the variance of the distances between clusters. It considers the sum of squared deviations from the mean and tends to create equally sized clusters. This method can be beneficial when we want compact, spherical clusters and when minimizing within-cluster variance is a primary consideration.
