Empirical Comparison of Distances for Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering

This paper proposes a method for empirical comparison of distances for agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on rough set-based approximation. When a set of target is given, a level of clustering tree where one branch includes all the targets can be traced with the number of elements included. The pair \((\#clusters of a level, \#elements of a cluster) \) can be viewed as indices-pair for a given clustering tree.
