TLDR
It is shown that the computational behaviour of a hierarchical sorting-strategy depends on three properties, which are established for five conventional strategies and four measures.Abstract:
It is shown that the computational behaviour of a hierarchical sorting-strategy depends on three properties, which are established for five conventional strategies and four measures. The conventional strategies are shown to be simple variants of a single linear system defined by four parameters. A new strategy is defined, enabling continuous variation of intensity of grouping by variation in a single parameter. An Appendix provides specifications of computer programs embodying the new principles.read more

Objective Criteria for the Evaluation of Clustering Methods
TL;DR: This article proposes several criteria which isolate specific aspects of the performance of a method, such as its retrieval of inherent structure, its sensitivity to resampling and the stability of its results in the light of new data.

Measures of association for cross classifications
Leo A. Goodman,William Kruskal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a number of alternative measures are considered, almost all based upon a probabilistic model for activity to which the cross-classification may typically lead, and only the case in which the population is completely known is considered, so no question of sampling or measurement error appears.

Measures of Association for Cross Classifications III: Approximate Sampling Theory
Leo A. Goodman,William Kruskal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived large sample normal distributions with their associated standard errors for various measures of association and various methods of sampling and explained how the large sample normality may be used to test hypotheses about the measures and about differences between them, and to construct corresponding confidence intervals.
