I think single-linkage is what people are going to look for when they want a clustering algorithm. The fact that this is equivalent to finding an MST is an implementation detail (although it's still a good thing to have that in the docs, since it immediately evokes the complexity of MST algos to computer scientists). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
