Peer reviewedMurtagh, F. – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Using examples of data from the areas of information retrieval and of multivariate data analysis, six hierarchic clustering algorithms (single link, median, centroid, group average, complete link, Wards's) are examined and evaluated by using three proposed coefficients of hierarchic structure. Nine references are cited. (EJS)

Peer reviewedStanfel, Larry E. – Information Processing and Management, 1983
Describes methods for effecting the partition of information systems consisting of many components and interconnections into subsystems which are later made to interface with one another achieving an overall system. Clustering algorithms for the specific case of information systems are obtained and exemplified. Twenty-seven references are…
