You are working on a clustering problem where you need to identify very distinct and well-separated clusters. Which linkage method might be suitable and why?
- Average Linkage
- Complete Linkage
- Single Linkage
- Ward's Method
Complete Linkage would be suitable when you need very distinct and well-separated clusters. This method considers the maximum distance between points in different clusters, ensuring that clusters are far from each other. It provides greater separation between clusters compared to other methods and is less likely to form elongated, chain-like clusters.
