The Growth Of Cluster Analysis: Tryon, Ward, And Johnson
Abstract:
The growth of literature about cluster analysis is studied through an intensive analysis of the work by three men: Johnson, Tryon, and Ward. First, a history of the ideas of these men is discussed. Each of the three represented a different ideological perspective. Next, citation analysis is used to study the impact of the major publication of each man. The citation analysis suggests that there was virtually no overlap among researchers who cite the three authors. Finally, the paper concludes with comments on the cognitive vs. noncognitive factors influencing the growth of cluster analysis as an interest area.

The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
