Distance between clusters can be computed as:

- distance between the centroids of the clusters
- Single link : the distance between the two closest elements belonging to the two clusters. Leads to chain clusters, which is a drawback of Single link.
- Complete link : the distance between the two farthest elements belonging to the two clusters. Leads to spherical clusters.
