The problem:  There are no a priori groupings to run a classification on

My solution:

This is a non-R code question, so I appreciate any thoughts. I have used pam in the cluster package proceeded by sillohouette to find the optimum number of clusters on scaled and centered data. I have followed this by a classification tree analysis with rpart to discern which variables drive the clustering on the original data. Is this a sensible approach?
many thanks,

Stephen Sefick
