The aggregative algorithm is usually implemented from bottom to top. Such algorithm first considers each node as a community and calculates the similarity between every pair of community, and then merges two communities with the largest similarity. 2, record 1, English, - bottom%2Dup%20algorithm

Bottom-up algorithms treat each data point as a single cluster at the outset and then successively merge (or agglomerate) pairs of clusters until all clusters have been merged into a single cluster that contains all data points. 3, record 1, English, - bottom%2Dup%20algorithm

Los algoritmos de clasificación jerárquicos pueden ser de 2 tipos: aglomerativos o ascendentes y divisivos o descendentes. Los algoritmos aglomerativos, mediante la utilización de algún criterio, van agrupando unidades de análisis en cada paso hasta llegar a un conglomerado que engloba a la totalidad. 1, record 1, Spanish, - algoritmo%20ascendente
