Abstract
The calculational techniques developed around the notion of clustering in the preceding chapter are obviously powerful, particularly as applied to the virial series. But, just as with methods of statistical analysis in general, no calculational scheme is likely to be universally optimal. Cluster-related techniques appear most efficient at moderate to high temperatures, although they certainly can be extended to the study of low-temperature phenomena, as already demonstrated.
