This practical text has been reworked to provide an account of the subject of cluster analysis - the generic name for a wide variety of procedures involved with identifying groups within data. By organizing multivariate data into such subgroups clustering may help the investigator discover the characteristics of any structure or pattern present. However, applying the methods in practice requires considerable care and researchers may need guidance in order to avoid misinterpreting results.

An accessible and practical introduction to clustering using a minimum of mathematics. This extensively revised edition contains detailed descriptions of the latest methods along with numerous examples and updated information on available software packages. Closing chapters provide suggestions which will be helpful in many situations when applying clustering or evaluating results.
Cluster analysis comprises a range of methods for classifying multivariate data into subgroups. By organising multivariate data into such subgroups, clustering can help reveal the characteristics of any structure or patterns present. These techniques are applicable in a wide range of areas such as medicine, psychology and market research. This fourth edition of the highly successful Cluster Analysis represents a thorough revision of the third edition and covers new and developing areas such as classification likelihood and neural networks for clustering. Real life examples are used throughout to demonstrate the application of the theory, and figures are used extensively to illustrate graphical techniques. The book is comprehensive yet relatively non-mathematical, focusing on the practical aspects of cluster analysis.
