A practical, user-oriented introduction to clustering methods, including both hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods. Shows how clustering can be used to interpret large quantities of analytical data and discusses the relation of clustering to other pattern recognition techniques. Uses a two-level approach to provide both a qualitative understanding of the philosophy, advantages, and disadvantages of clustering and a quantitative understanding for readers who want a strong mathematical background. Includes a worked example and a list of computer packages.

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. 
"Cluster analysis is the increasingly important and practical subject of finding groupings in data. The authors set out to write a book for the user who does not necessarily have an extensive background in mathematics. They succeed very well." ―Mathematical Reviews "Finding Groups in Data [is] a clear, readable, and interesting presentation of a small number of clustering methods. In addition, the book introduced some interesting innovations of applied value to clustering literature." ―Journal of Classification "This is a very good, easy-to-read, and practical book. It has many nice features and is highly recommended for students and practitioners in various fields of study." ―Technometrics An introduction to the practical application of cluster analysis, this text presents a selection of methods that together can deal with most applications. These methods are chosen for their robustness, consistency, and general applicability. This book discusses various types of data, including interval-scaled and binary variables as well as similarity data, and explains how these can be transformed prior to clustering.

For over twenty years, Leonard's was the meeting place of Jewish men who could not join the private social and athletic clubs. Leonard's became the home of sports figures, the racket people, business men and others who had to come downtown to bank, invest, buy wholesale. The food was outstanding with a stolen chef from the Benson Hotel.
