Agglomerative Clustering Algorithm
- Read Data:
Read the input data points from the standard input (stdin).
- Preprocess Data:
Parse the input data points and store them in a list.
- Initialize Clusters:
Initialize the clusters using the first n data points.
- Define Euclidean Distance Function:
Define a function to calculate the Euclidean distance between data points.
- Main Loop:
Iterate until the number of clusters reaches the desired value (k).
- Update Clusters:
Calculate the pairwise distances between clusters and merge the two closest clusters.
