Peer reviewedMilligan, Glenn W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1981
Monte Carlo validation studies of clustering algorithms, including Ward's minimum variance hierarchical method, are reviewed. Caution concerning the uncritical selection of Ward's method for recovering cluster structure is advised. Alternative explanations for differential recovery performance are explored and recommendations are made for future…

Peer reviewedten Berge, Jos M. F.; Zegers, Frits E. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1990
Arguments by J. Levin (1988) challenging the convergence properties of the Harman and Jones (1966) method of Minres factor analysis are shown to be invalid. Claims about the invalidity of a rank-one version of the Harman and Jones method are also refuted. (TJH)
