A conversational program for hierarchic and non-hierarchic cluster analysis
Abstract:
The theoretical basis and the features of some cluster analysis programs are described in this paper. These programs use as input data an N x M matrix. For the N' less than or equal to N set of individuals, the cross-correlation matrix, R = (rij), is then calculated. The dissimilarity matrix, D = (dhk), and the distribution histogram of the distances between each pair is worked out. Hierarchic and non-hierarchic clustering techniques are allowed. Using the non-hierarchic strategy, the non-overlapping clusters are then separated into different groups. The distances between these groups are calculated and statistical tests of significance are performed. In the hierarchic case, a dendrogram is drawn using an agglomerative algorithm. As an example the programs (written in FORTRAN, batch or TSS version) were used to classify human mitotic chromosomes.

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...

Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
