===================================================
Hierarchical clustering with and without structure
===================================================

This example demonstrates hierarchical clustering with and without
connectivity constraints. It shows the effect of imposing a connectivity
graph to capture local structure in the data. Without connectivity constraints,
the clustering is based purely on distance, while with constraints, the
clustering respects local structure.

For more information, see :ref:`hierarchical_clustering`.

There are two advantages of imposing connectivity. First, clustering
with sparse connectivity matrices is faster in general.

Second, when using a connectivity matrix, single, average and complete
linkage are unstable and tend to create a few clusters that grow very
quickly. Indeed, average and complete linkage fight this percolation behavior
by considering all the distances between two clusters when merging them
(while single linkage exaggerates the behaviour by considering only the
shortest distance between clusters). The connectivity graph breaks this
mechanism for average and complete linkage, making them resemble the more
brittle single linkage. This effect is more pronounced for very sparse graphs
(try decreasing the number of neighbors in `kneighbors_graph`) and with
complete linkage. In particular, having a very small number of neighbors in
the graph, imposes a geometry that is close to that of single linkage,
which is well known to have this percolation instability.

The effect of imposing connectivity is illustrated on two different but
similar datasets which show a spiral structure. In the first example we
build a Swiss roll dataset and run hierarchical clustering on the position
of the data. Here, we compare unstructured Ward clustering with a
structured variant that enforces k-Nearest Neighbors connectivity. In the
second example we include the effects of applying a such a connectivity graph
to single, average and complete linkage.
