Abstract
Cluster analysis constitutes one of those techniques of analysis which, to judge from the many publications of recent times, is receiving increasing interest. This development has been occurring simultaneously over a number of disciplines, such as psychology, psychiatry, biology, sociology, the medical sciences, economics and archeology. It is especially to the first three named of these disciplines that we must look for the beginning of this development; these are also the areas in which the greatest progress has occurred.
