I have the following data : 



d = ['aaa bb', 'aaa bb', 'aaa bb', 'aaa', 'aaa', 'ddd pp, 'ddd pp']



# and I cluster it in the following way 

w = Ward(n_clusters=2)

w.fit(SomeVectorizer.fit_transform(d))



and I am getting the following n_labels which is understandable : 

[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1] ==> first 4 and subsequent 2 docs are of the same 

cluster. 



I am not able to interpret the n_children_ values though : 

>>> w.children_

array([[ 5,  6],

       [ 3,  4],

       [ 2,  8],

       [ 1,  9],

       [ 0, 10],

       [ 7, 11]])



Can someone please walk me through the hierarchy. I am assuming there are in 

total 12 nodes numbered from 0 to 11. Assuming the children of parent node are 

5 (left-child) and 6(right-child), who are the children of node-5 ?  



Any help is greatly appreciated. 



Thanks,

Prasenjit
