\description{
Create hierarchical cluster tree.
}
\details{
Z = LINKAGE(Y) creates a hierarchical cluster tree, using the single
linkage algorithm.  The input Y is a distance matrix such as is generated by
PDIST. Y may also be a more general dissimilarity matrix conforming to the
output format of PDIST.

Z = linkage(X) returns a matrix Z that encodes a tree containing hierarchical clusters of the rows of the input data matrix X.

\note{
This is also a base Matlab function. The reason why the source code is also present here is unclear.
