UPGMA

UPGMA stands for Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmathic Average.  This is a method of producing a dendrogram from a distance matrix.  This method was one of the first clustering algorithms and has largely been discarded due to its inability to deal with matrices that are derived from taxa that have evolved at unequal rates.
