Cluster Analysis (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)

Although clustering―the classification of objects into meaningful sets―is an important procedure in the social sciences today, cluster analysis as a multivariate statistical procedure is poorly understood by many social scientists. This volume is an introduction to cluster analysis for social scientists and students.

My research focus is the classification of psychopathology. Within this area of interest, my publications have emphasized taxonomy (theories of classification), cluster analysis, scientometrics, and how clinicians use classificatory concepts.
