REDCAP

Regionalization with dynamically constrained agglomerative clustering and partitioning (REDCAP) is developed by D. Guo (2008). Like SKATER, REDCAP starts from building a spanning tree in 4 different approaches (single-linkage, average-linkage, complete-linkage, and wards-linkage). Then, REDCAP provides 2 different approaches (first‐order and full-order constraining) to prune the tree to find clusters. The REDCAP with first-order approach using a minimum spanning tree is exactly the same as SKATER.
