How To Install python3-fastcluster on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-fastcluster on Debian 10.
What is python3-fastcluster
python3-fastcluster is:
This library provides Python functions for hierarchical clustering. It generates hierarchical clusters from distance matrices or from vector data.
Part of this module is intended to replace the functions
linkage, single, complete, average, weighted, centroid, median, ward
in the module scipy.cluster.hierarchy with the same functionality but much faster algorithms. Moreover, the function ’linkage_vector' provides memory-efficient clustering for vector data.
The interface is very similar to MATLAB’s Statistics Toolbox API to make code easier to port from MATLAB to Python/Numpy. The core implementation of this library is in C++ for efficiency.
This package provides the package’s Python 3 interface.
