Peer reviewedKrolak-Schwerdt, Sabine; Eckes, Thomas – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
Procedures for determining the number of clusters in a data set are explored. A proposed stopping rule, the GRAPH criterion, is compared to four stopping rules currently in use. The GRAPH criterion's mathematically attractive properties and utility in solving the number-of-clusters problem are demonstrated. (SLD)
