Variations in the cluster analysis technique are discussed and a method, involving the optimization of an initial hierarchical grouping is proposed as the most appropriate method of classifying geotechnical data. The problem of ascertaining the optimum number of groups is also discussed. Three cluster analysis classifications of the data are presented and compared with a geotechnical classification by using a chi-square test. This content is PDF only.
