"""Ward clustering based on a Feature matrix.
Recursively merges the pair of clusters that minimally increases

The inertia matrix uses a Heapq-based representation.
This is the structured version, that takes into account some topological
structure between samples.
Parameters
----------
X : array, shape (n_samples, n_features)
feature matrix representing n_samples samples to be clustered
connectivity : sparse matrix (optional).
connectivity matrix. Defines for each sample the neighboring samples
following a given structure of the data. The matrix is assumed to
be symmetric and only the upper triangular half is used.
Default is None, i.e, the Ward algorithm is unstructured.
n_components : int (optional)
Number of connected components. If None the number of connected
components is estimated from the connectivity matrix.
n_clusters : int (optional)
Stop early the construction of the tree at n_clusters. This is
useful to decrease computation time if the number of clusters is
not small compared to the number of samples. In this case, the
complete tree is not computed, thus the 'children' output is of
limited use, and the 'parents' output should rather be used.
This option is valid only when specifying a connectivity matrix.
Returns
-------
children : 2D array, shape (n_nodes, 2)
The children of each non-leaf node. Values less than `n_samples` refer
to leaves of the tree. A greater value `i` indicates a node with
children `children[i - n_samples]`.
n_components : int

n_leaves : int
The number of leaves in the tree
parents : 1D array, shape (n_nodes, ) or None

Agglomerative Clustering
Recursively merges the pair of clusters that minimally increases

Parameters
----------
n_clusters : int, default=2
The number of clusters to find.
connectivity : sparse matrix (optional)
Connectivity matrix. Defines for each sample the neighboring
samples following a given structure of the data.
Default is None, i.e, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is
unstructured.
affinity : string or callable, default: "euclidean"
Metric used to compute the linkage. Can be "euclidean", "l1", "l2",
"manhattan", "cosine", or 'precomputed'.
If linkage is "ward", only "euclidean" is accepted.
memory : Instance of joblib.Memory or string (optional)
Used to cache the output of the computation of the tree.
By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the
path to the caching directory.
n_components : int (optional)
The number of connected components in the graph defined by the
connectivity matrix. If not set, it is estimated.
compute_full_tree : bool or 'auto' (optional)
Stop early the construction of the tree at n_clusters. This is
useful to decrease computation time if the number of clusters is
not small compared to the number of samples. This option is
useful only when specifying a connectivity matrix. Note also that
when varying the number of clusters and using caching, it may
be advantageous to compute the full tree.
linkage : {"ward", "complete", "average"}, optional, default: "ward"
Which linkage criterion to use. The linkage criterion determines which
distance to use between sets of observation. The algorithm will merge
the pairs of cluster that minimize this criterion.
- ward minimizes the variance of the clusters being merged.
- average uses the average of the distances of each observation of
the two sets.
- complete or maximum linkage uses the maximum distances between
all observations of the two sets.
pooling_func : callable, default=np.mean
