And in fact, it is important to point out that rb and rbr are not just partitional methods. In fact, they are hybrid methods that proceed in an agglomerative fashion (making pairwise decisions) based on a partional strategy (bisecting clusters in such a way that optimizes a criterion function).
So, much of what we say about partitional and agglomerative methods applies equally well to rb and rbr! For example, it is possible to display the hierarchical clustering tree associated with rb or rbr!
