- do what Art posted - NOW you notice that -- given some clusters -- you don't have much in-hand that is useful. That's always been the problem with clustering.... you can go through a lot of work to get something 'reasonable-looking' by some standard of compactness -- and then you have to start over, if you want to describe them, or apply rules elsewhere. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
