Classification of Neuronal Data by Brian Halabisky with help from A. D. Gordon (1999) and Hair et al. (1998)
All you really need to know (i.e. just what I know) about performing cluster analysis on your data.
These are some objectives that I hope will be met by writing this page:
1) Describe what cluster analysis is in a general non-mathematical way
2) Identify whether or not you need/want to perform cluster analysis on your data
3) Give a good method on determining which particular data variables to include
4) Validation of the clustering method chosen
5) What kind of information you can glean from your data after cluster analysis has been performed
