Matlab implementation of Omnibus Multi-Branching Divisive Hierarchical Clustering (OMBDHC)
“A competitive omnibus performance criterion for divisive multi-branching
hierarchical clustering” by Soeria-Atmadja et al. (submitted). Note that OMB-DHC package
is implemented in Matlab code and therefore demands the Matlab core program, as well as the
Statistics toolbox of Matlab.
Divisive hierarchical clustering (DHC) has emerged as a promising alternative for the
identification of sub-structures in multivariate data. Of particular interest is multi-branching
DHC, which allows flexible numbers of subclusters at each hierarchical level. One poorly
explored issue in multi-branching DHC concerns the actual importance of the two
performance criteria (and their associated algorithms) to automatically create clusters and
select number of clusters, respectively. Another interesting but hitherto unexplored issue is
the possibility to employ a single omnibus performance criterion that guide
