0 1    Set the parameter k that defines the distance between two clusters. If you take the cartesian product of all dots in cluster A and all dots of cluster B you get (a,b)-tuples. Aligned by their distance d(a,b), k depicts a quantile on them.
Long story short:
k=0: the distance of two clusters is the distance of their closest points.
k=1: the distance of two clusters is the distance of their farthest points.
