Metoda Warda w zastosowaniu klasyfikacji województw Polski z różnymi miarami odległości
The Ward method in the application for classification of Polish voivodeships with different distances

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes to compare the results of the classification of Polish voivodeships with different objective function. It was attempted to perform the study on the basis of empirical justification for the selection of the similarity measures. The results obtained using the classical method of Ward and the algorithm proposed by the Lance-Williams formula were compared. It seems that the use of different distance measures in the classification of Polish voivodeships using the Word method gives comparable classification quality. Against the background of the proposed distance the weighted Euclidean distance is distinguished.
