Hello all,



Do any of you know of a good review paper/article that discusses cluster
analysis/cluster validation as well as other clustering approaches like MDS?



Thanks



Henry

Hi,



I have human body scan data on 4 parts of the body: waist, upper hip, high
hip and lower hip.  I am trying to find a way to classify human bodies into
different "types" based on the 4 measures.  E.g. straight body, pear shape,
etc.



Can you please tell me what kinds of techniques would be appropriate for
this kind of analysis?  I am working with Mathematica.



Thanks!
