* Weighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean. WPGMA down-weights the
* largest group by giving equal weights to the two branches of the dendrogram
* that are about to fuse.
*
* Note that the terms weighted and unweighted refer to the final result,
* not the math by which it is achieved. Thus the simple averaging in WPGMA
* produces a weighted result, and the proportional averaging in UPGMA produces
* an unweighted result.
