Constructor	Description
`SingleLinkageClusterer(double[][] matrix, boolean isScoreMatrix)`	Constructs a new SingleLinkageClusterer Subsequently use `getDendrogram()` to get the full tree or `getClusters(double)` to get the clusters at a certain cutoff in the tree Please note that the matrix will be altered during the clustering procedure.

public SingleLinkageClusterer(double[][] matrix,
                              boolean isScoreMatrix)
```
    Constructs a new SingleLinkageClusterer Subsequently use getDendrogram() to get the full tree or getClusters(double) to get the clusters at a certain cutoff in the tree Please note that the matrix will be altered during the clustering procedure. A copy must be made before by the user if needing to use the original matrix further.
    
    Parameters:
    
    matrix - the distance matrix with distance values in j>i half, all other values will be ignored
    
    isScoreMatrix - if false the matrix will be considered a distance matrix: lower values (distances) mean closer objects, if true the matrix will be considered a score matrix: larger values (scores) mean closer objects
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if matrix not square

    Returns:
    
    Map from cluster numbers to indices of the cluster members
