Complete Linkage Clustering. (...) An OTU [Operational Taxonomic Unit] that is a candidate for admission to an extant cluster has similarity to that cluster equal to its similarity to the farthest member within the cluster. When two clusters join, their similarity is that existing between the farthest pair of members, one in each cluster. The method will generally lead to tight, hyperspherical, discrete clusters that join others only with difficulty and at relative low overall similarity values.
