# scipy.cluster.hierarchy.weighted

`scipy.cluster.hierarchy.``weighted`(y)

  Performs weighted/WPGMA linkage on the condensed distance matrix.

  See `linkage` for more information on the return structure and algorithm.

  Parameters : | y : ndarray The upper triangular of the distance matrix. The result of `pdist` is returned in this form.
  Returns : | Z : ndarray A linkage matrix containing the hierarchical clustering. See the `linkage` function documentation for more information on its structure.
