If you don't get a response, go to the Classification Society of North America page. CSNA is an organization of scientists interested in clustering, mds, networks, etc.
http://www.pitt.edu/~csna/index.html
click <class-l>
that will tell you about the discussion list for clustering issues. Good chance someone there would know.


Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have a not very statistical query regarding the paper "A test for Clusters" published in 1979 (Journal of Marketing Research, vol XVI, november 1979, 545-51). I would like to apply Arnold's test to my data. I have finally got hold of a copy of the paper, but it is the fudgiest paper ever! Typically, the most incomprehensible part is the end of page 548, where the two key functions are given. This is what I can recover (? indicate values which I cannot read):

C(unimodal)= [e^(0.?6???)*g^(0.???42)*p^(0.21011)*a^(0.13??)]/N^(0.2972)
C(uniform)=[e^(0.?????)*g^(0.89510)*p^(0.138??)*a^(0.163??)]/N^(0.236)

Can anyone help? Do the functions appear anywhere else? Somewhere on-line maybe? Has anybody got a copy of the paper on their desk?!!

Thanks for any suggestions

Regards

Sandra
