    return linkage(y, method='ward', metric='euclidean')


def linkage(y, method='single', metric='euclidean'):
    """
    Performs hierarchical/agglomerative clustering on the condensed
    distance matrix y.

    y must be a :math:`{n \\choose 2}` sized
    vector where n is the number of original observations paired
    in the distance matrix. The behavior of this function is very
    similar to the MATLAB linkage function.

    An :math:`(n-1)` by 4  matrix ``Z`` is returned. At the
    :math:`i`-th iteration, clusters with indices ``Z[i, 0]`` and
    ``Z[i, 1]`` are combined to form cluster :math:`n + i`. A
    cluster with an index less than :math:`n` corresponds to one of
    the :math:`n` original observations. The distance between
    clusters ``Z[i, 0]`` and ``Z[i, 1]`` is given by ``Z[i, 2]``. The
    fourth value ``Z[i, 3]`` represents the number of original
    observations in the newly formed cluster.

    The following linkage methods are used to compute the distance
    :math:`d(s, t)` between two clusters :math:`s` and
    :math:`t`. The algorithm begins with a forest of clusters that
    have yet to be used in the hierarchy being formed. When two
    clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t` from this forest are combined
    into a single cluster :math:`u`, :math:`s` and :math:`t` are
    removed from the forest, and :math:`u` is added to the
    forest. When only one cluster remains in the forest, the algorithm
    stops, and this cluster becomes the root.

    A distance matrix is maintained at each iteration. The ``d[i,j]``
    entry corresponds to the distance between cluster :math:`i` and
    :math:`j` in the original forest.

    At each iteration, the algorithm must update the distance matrix
    to reflect the distance of the newly formed cluster u with the
    remaining clusters in the forest.

    Suppose there are :math:`|u|` original observations
    :math:`u[0], \\ldots, u[|u|-1]` in cluster :math:`u` and
    :math:`|v|` original objects :math:`v[0], \\ldots, v[|v|-1]` in
    cluster :math:`v`. Recall :math:`s` and :math:`t` are
    combined to form cluster :math:`u`. Let :math:`v` be any
    remaining cluster in the forest that is not :math:`u`.

    The following are methods for calculating the distance between the
    newly formed cluster :math:`u` and each :math:`v`.

      * method='single' assigns

        .. math::
           d(u,v) = \\min(dist(u[i],v[j]))

        for all points :math:`i` in cluster :math:`u` and
        :math:`j` in cluster :math:`v`. This is also known as the
        Nearest Point Algorithm.

      * method='complete' assigns

        .. math::
           d(u, v) = \\max(dist(u[i],v[j]))

        for all points :math:`i` in cluster u and :math:`j` in
        cluster :math:`v`. This is also known by the Farthest Point
        Algorithm or Voor Hees Algorithm.

      * method='average' assigns

        .. math::
           d(u,v) = \\sum_{ij} \\frac{d(u[i], v[j])}
                                   {(|u|*|v|)}

        for all points :math:`i` and :math:`j` where :math:`|u|`
        and :math:`|v|` are the cardinalities of clusters :math:`u`
        and :math:`v`, respectively. This is also called the UPGMA
        algorithm.

      * method='weighted' assigns

        .. math::
           d(u,v) = (dist(s,v) + dist(t,v))/2

        where cluster u was formed with cluster s and t and v
        is a remaining cluster in the forest. (also called WPGMA)

      * method='centroid' assigns

        .. math::
           dist(s,t) = ||c_s-c_t||_2

        where :math:`c_s` and :math:`c_t` are the centroids of
        clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t`, respectively. When two
        clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t` are combined into a new
        cluster :math:`u`, the new centroid is computed over all the
        original objects in clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t`. The
        distance then becomes the Euclidean distance between the
        centroid of :math:`u` and the centroid of a remaining cluster
        :math:`v` in the forest. This is also known as the UPGMC
        algorithm.

      * method='median' assigns :math:`d(s,t)` like the ``centroid``
        method. When two clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t` are combined
        into a new cluster :math:`u`, the average of centroids s and t
        give the new centroid :math:`u`. This is also known as the
        WPGMC algorithm.

      * method='ward' uses the Ward variance minimization algorithm.
        The new entry :math:`d(u,v)` is computed as follows,

        .. math::

           d(u,v) = \\sqrt{\\frac{|v|+|s|}
                               {T}d(v,s)^2
                        + \\frac{|v|+|t|}
                               {T}d(v,t)^2
                        - \\frac{|v|}
                               {T}d(s,t)^2}

        where :math:`u` is the newly joined cluster consisting of
        clusters :math:`s` and :math:`t`, :math:`v` is an unused
        cluster in the forest, :math:`T=|v|+|s|+|t|`, and
        :math:`|*|` is the cardinality of its argument. This is also
        known as the incremental algorithm.

    Warning: When the minimum distance pair in the forest is chosen, there
    may be two or more pairs with the same minimum distance. This
    implementation may chose a different minimum than the MATLAB
    version.

    Parameters
    ----------
    y : ndarray
        A condensed or redundant distance matrix. A condensed distance matrix
        is a flat array containing the upper triangular of the distance matrix.
        This is the form that ``pdist`` returns. Alternatively, a collection of
        :math:`m` observation vectors in n dimensions may be passed as an
        :math:`m` by :math:`n` array.
    method : str, optional
        The linkage algorithm to use. See the ``Linkage Methods`` section below
        for full descriptions.
    metric : str or function, optional
        The distance metric to use in the case that y is a collection of
        observation vectors; ignored otherwise. See the ``distance.pdist``
        function for a list of valid distance metrics. A custom distance
        function can also be used. See the ``distance.pdist`` function for
        details.

    Forms flat clusters from the hierarchical clustering defined by

    Parameters
    ----------
    Z : ndarray
        The hierarchical clustering encoded with the matrix returned
        by the `linkage` function.
    t : float
        The threshold to apply when forming flat clusters.
    criterion : str, optional
        The criterion to use in forming flat clusters. This can
        be any of the following values:

          ``inconsistent`` : If a cluster node and all its
              descendants have an inconsistent value less than or equal
              to `t` then all its leaf descendants belong to the
              same flat cluster. When no non-singleton cluster meets
              this criterion, every node is assigned to its own
              cluster. (Default)

          ``distance`` : Forms flat clusters so that the original
              observations in each flat cluster have no greater a
              cophenetic distance than `t`.

          ``maxclust`` : Finds a minimum threshold ``r`` so that
              the cophenetic distance between any two original
              observations in the same flat cluster is no more than
              ``r`` and no more than `t` flat clusters are formed.

          ``monocrit`` : Forms a flat cluster from a cluster node c
              with index i when ``monocrit[j] <= t``.

              For example, to threshold on the maximum mean distance
              as computed in the inconsistency matrix R with a
              threshold of 0.8 do::

                  MR = maxRstat(Z, R, 3)
                  cluster(Z, t=0.8, criterion='monocrit', monocrit=MR)

          ``maxclust_monocrit`` : Forms a flat cluster from a
              non-singleton cluster node ``c`` when ``monocrit[i] <=
              r`` for all cluster indices ``i`` below and including
              ``c``. ``r`` is minimized such that no more than ``t``
              flat clusters are formed. monocrit must be
              monotonic. For example, to minimize the threshold t on
              maximum inconsistency values so that no more than 3 flat
              clusters are formed, do::

                  MI = maxinconsts(Z, R)
                  cluster(Z, t=3, criterion='maxclust_monocrit', monocrit=MI)

    depth : int, optional
        The maximum depth to perform the inconsistency calculation.
        It has no meaning for the other criteria. Default is 2.
    R : ndarray, optional
        The inconsistency matrix to use for the 'inconsistent'
        criterion. This matrix is computed if not provided.
    monocrit : ndarray, optional
        An array of length n-1. `monocrit[i]` is the
        statistics upon which non-singleton i is thresholded. The
        monocrit vector must be monotonic, i.e. given a node c with
        index i, for all node indices j corresponding to nodes
        below c, ``monocrit[i] >= monocrit[j]``.

    Note that `dendrogram` also accepts a custom coloring function through its
    ``link_color_func`` keyword, which is more flexible and non-global.

    Parameters
    ----------
    palette : list of str or None
        A list of matplotlib color codes.  The order of the color codes is the
        order in which the colors are cycled through when color thresholding in

    Plots the hierarchical clustering as a dendrogram.

    The dendrogram illustrates how each cluster is
    composed by drawing a U-shaped link between a non-singleton
    cluster and its children. The height of the top of the U-link is
    the distance between its children clusters. It is also the
    cophenetic distance between original observations in the two
    children clusters. It is expected that the distances in Z[:,2] be
    monotonic, otherwise crossings appear in the dendrogram.

    Parameters
    ----------
    Z : ndarray
        The linkage matrix encoding the hierarchical clustering to
        render as a dendrogram. See the ``linkage`` function for more
        information on the format of ``Z``.
    p : int, optional
        The ``p`` parameter for ``truncate_mode``.
    truncate_mode : str, optional
        The dendrogram can be hard to read when the original
        observation matrix from which the linkage is derived is
        large. Truncation is used to condense the dendrogram. There
        are several modes:

        ``None/'none'``
          No truncation is performed (Default).

        ``'lastp'``
          The last ``p`` non-singleton formed in the linkage are the only
          non-leaf nodes in the linkage; they correspond to rows
          ``Z[n-p-2:end]`` in ``Z``. All other non-singleton clusters are
          contracted into leaf nodes.

        ``'mlab'``
          This corresponds to MATLAB(TM) behavior. (not implemented yet)

        ``'level'/'mtica'``
          No more than ``p`` levels of the dendrogram tree are displayed.
          This corresponds to Mathematica(TM) behavior.

    color_threshold : double, optional
        For brevity, let :math:`t` be the ``color_threshold``.
        Colors all the descendent links below a cluster node
        :math:`k` the same color if :math:`k` is the first node below
        the cut threshold :math:`t`. All links connecting nodes with
        distances greater than or equal to the threshold are colored
        blue. If :math:`t` is less than or equal to zero, all nodes
        are colored blue. If ``color_threshold`` is None or
        'default', corresponding with MATLAB(TM) behavior, the
        threshold is set to ``0.7*max(Z[:,2])``.
    get_leaves : bool, optional
        Includes a list ``R['leaves']=H`` in the result
        dictionary. For each :math:`i`, ``H[i] == j``, cluster node
        ``j`` appears in position ``i`` in the left-to-right traversal
        of the leaves, where :math:`j < 2n-1` and :math:`i < n`.
    orientation : str, optional
        The direction to plot the dendrogram, which can be any
        of the following strings:

        ``'top'``
          Plots the root at the top, and plot descendent links going downwards.
          (default).

        ``'bottom'``
          Plots the root at the bottom, and plot descendent links going
          upwards.

        ``'left'``
          Plots the root at the left, and plot descendent links going right.

        ``'right'``
          Plots the root at the right, and plot descendent links going left.

    labels : ndarray, optional
        By default ``labels`` is None so the index of the original observation
        is used to label the leaf nodes.  Otherwise, this is an :math:`n`
        -sized list (or tuple). The ``labels[i]`` value is the text to put
        under the :math:`i` th leaf node only if it corresponds to an original
        observation and not a non-singleton cluster.
    count_sort : str or bool, optional
        For each node n, the order (visually, from left-to-right) n's
        two descendent links are plotted is determined by this
        parameter, which can be any of the following values:

        ``False``
          Nothing is done.

        ``'ascending'`` or ``True``
          The child with the minimum number of original objects in its cluster
          is plotted first.

        ``'descendent'``
          The child with the maximum number of original objects in its cluster
          is plotted first.

        Note ``distance_sort`` and ``count_sort`` cannot both be True.
    distance_sort : str or bool, optional
        For each node n, the order (visually, from left-to-right) n's
        two descendent links are plotted is determined by this
        parameter, which can be any of the following values:

        ``False``
          Nothing is done.

        ``'ascending'`` or ``True``
          The child with the minimum distance between its direct descendents is
          plotted first.

        ``'descending'``
          The child with the maximum distance between its direct descendents is
          plotted first.

        Note ``distance_sort`` and ``count_sort`` cannot both be True.
    show_leaf_counts : bool, optional
         When True, leaf nodes representing :math:`k>1` original
         observation are labeled with the number of observations they
         contain in parentheses.
    no_plot : bool, optional
        When True, the final rendering is not performed. This is
        useful if only the data structures computed for the rendering
        are needed or if matplotlib is not available.
    no_labels : bool, optional
        When True, no labels appear next to the leaf nodes in the
        rendering of the dendrogram.
    leaf_rotation : double, optional
        Specifies the angle (in degrees) to rotate the leaf
        labels. When unspecified, the rotation is based on the number of
        nodes in the dendrogram (default is 0).
    leaf_font_size : int, optional
        Specifies the font size (in points) of the leaf labels. When
        unspecified, the size based on the number of nodes in the
        dendrogram.
    leaf_label_func : lambda or function, optional
        When leaf_label_func is a callable function, for each
        leaf with cluster index :math:`k < 2n-1`. The function
        is expected to return a string with the label for the
        leaf.

        Indices :math:`k < n` correspond to original observations
        while indices :math:`k \\geq n` correspond to non-singleton
        clusters.

        For example, to label singletons with their node id and
        non-singletons with their id, count, and inconsistency
        coefficient, simply do::

            # First define the leaf label function.
            def llf(id):
                if id < n:
                    return str(id)
                else:
                    return '[%d %d %1.2f]' % (id, count, R[n-id,3])
            # The text for the leaf nodes is going to be big so force
            # a rotation of 90 degrees.
            dendrogram(Z, leaf_label_func=llf, leaf_rotation=90)

    show_contracted : bool, optional
        When True the heights of non-singleton nodes contracted
        into a leaf node are plotted as crosses along the link
        connecting that leaf node.  This really is only useful when
        truncation is used (see ``truncate_mode`` parameter).
    link_color_func : callable, optional
        If given, `link_color_function` is called with each non-singleton id
        corresponding to each U-shaped link it will paint. The function is
        expected to return the color to paint the link, encoded as a matplotlib
        color string code. For example::

            dendrogram(Z, link_color_func=lambda k: colors[k])

        colors the direct links below each untruncated non-singleton node
        ``k`` using ``colors[k]``.
    ax : matplotlib Axes instance, optional
        If None and `no_plot` is not True, the dendrogram will be plotted
        on the current axes.  Otherwise if `no_plot` is not True the
        dendrogram will be plotted on the given ``Axes`` instance. This can be
        useful if the dendrogram is part of a more complex figure.
    above_threshold_color : str, optional
        This matplotlib color string sets the color of the links above the
        color_threshold. The default is 'b'.

    Returns
    -------
    R : dict
        A dictionary of data structures computed to render the
        dendrogram. Its has the following keys:

        ``'color_list'``
          A list of color names. The k'th element represents the color of the
          k'th link.

        ``'icoord'`` and ``'dcoord'``
          Each of them is a list of lists. Let ``icoord = [I1, I2, ..., Ip]``
          where ``Ik = [xk1, xk2, xk3, xk4]`` and ``dcoord = [D1, D2, ..., Dp]``
          where ``Dk = [yk1, yk2, yk3, yk4]``, then the k'th link painted is
          ``(xk1, yk1)`` - ``(xk2, yk2)`` - ``(xk3, yk3)`` - ``(xk4, yk4)``.

        ``'ivl'``
          A list of labels corresponding to the leaf nodes.

        ``'leaves'``
          For each i, ``H[i] == j``, cluster node ``j`` appears in position
          ``i`` in the left-to-right traversal of the leaves, where
          :math:`j < 2n-1` and :math:`i < n`. If ``j`` is less than ``n``, the
          ``i``-th leaf node corresponds to an original observation.
          Otherwise, it corresponds to a non-singleton cluster.

    T : ndarray
        The flat cluster assignment vector.

    Returns
    -------
    L : ndarray
        The leader linkage node id's stored as a k-element 1-D array
        where ``k`` is the number of flat clusters found in ``T``.

        ``L[j]=i`` is the linkage cluster node id that is the
        leader of flat cluster with id M[j].  If ``i < n``, ``i``
        corresponds to an original observation, otherwise it
        corresponds to a non-singleton cluster.

        For example: if ``L[3]=2`` and ``M[3]=8``, the flat cluster with
        id 8's leader is linkage node 2.
    M : ndarray
        The leader linkage node id's stored as a k-element 1-D array where
        ``k`` is the number of flat clusters found in ``T``. This allows the
        set of flat cluster ids to be any arbitrary set of ``k`` integers.
