This article discusses analysis techniques for clustering objects into hopefully meaningful sets. Hierarchical methods are presented for clustering both variables and cases. Examples are presented for variations on the methods. A nonhierarchical method, k-means, is discussed for continuous data. Finally, an example comparing the results of k-means clustering to an ad hoc method using principal components analysis is given.
