Agglomerative approach of clustering is one of the..........methods.

  • A.Density
  • B.Partitioning
  • C.Hierarchical
  • D.Model based

Answer: C

Agglomerative clustering is a hierarchical method.

Agglomerative clustering works bottom-up: each object starts as its own cluster, and at every step the two closest clusters are merged, until one cluster remains or a stopping condition is met. The result is a hierarchy of clusters, drawn as a dendrogram. Its top-down counterpart, divisive clustering, is the other hierarchical approach.

Partitioning methods such as k-means divide the data into a fixed number of clusters directly. Density-based methods such as DBSCAN grow clusters from dense regions, and model-based methods fit statistical models such as Gaussian mixtures.
