For Clustering validation it maybe good to refer to "On Clustering Validation Techniques" by Maria Hakidi. It presents a good survey on these kind of techniques. You can even find this an orticles on the subject here http://www.db-net.aueb.gr/mhalk/Publ_maria.htm ______________ Eduardo Miranda Departamento de Inform�tica da FCT/ UNL Quinta da Torre, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal Tel: +351-21 294 85 36 - Ext. 10731 Fax: +351-21 294 85 41 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ctp.di.fct.unl.pt/QUASAR
