Praise for the First Edition The particular decomposition studied in this book is the decomposition of the total sum of squares matrix into, between, and within cluster components, and the book develops this decomposition, and its associated diagnostics, further than I have seen them developed for cluster analysis before. Overall, the book presents an unusual ! approach to cluster analysis, from the perspective of someone who is clearly an enthusiast for the insights these tools can bring to understanding data. --D.J.
