Cluster Analysis: 2014 Edition (Statistical Associates Blue Book Series 24)

CLUSTER ANALYSIS Overview

An illustrated tutorial and introduction to cluster analysis using SPSS, SAS, SAS Enterprise Miner, and Stata for examples. Suitable for introductory graduate-level study.

The 2014 edition is a major update to the 2012 edition. Among the new features are these:

Was 89 pages, now book length (207 pages total)
Had 58 figures, now has over 170 illustrations
Now covers Stata as well as SPSS and SAS
Totally revised sections on hierarchical, k-means, and two-step clustering
New coverage of nearest neighbor analysis
New coverage of oblique principal components cluster analysis
New coverage of nonparametric density cluster analysis
New coverage of Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) clustering
Links to all datasets used in the text.
