Hierarchical grouping methods and stopping rules: an evaluation
Open accessAbstract
Hierarchical clustering procedures have received a great deal of emphasis in recent years, yet research has lagged in their empirical evaluation and in objective means to aid the user in selecting good partitions (rather than good hierarchies). The present paper aims to correct both of these deficiencies, first by empirically testing selected methods which have become popular and, second by proposing and evaluating statistical stopping rules. Results indicate: 1. that methods vary widely in their performance and 2. that the proposed stopping rules can aid the user in selecting partitions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
