Abstract

A general-purpose computer program implementing Williams and Lambert's method of association analysis is documented. The method embodies a hierarchical-divisive-monothetic strategy for the numerical classification of multiattribute, binary-coded data sets. The main user-controlled options permit a selection from among two different association coefficients and three termination criteria; employment of Yates' correction; presetting significance thresholds; discarding insignificant association coefficients; treatment of ambiguities in dividing attributes; and the transformation of quantitative measurements to a binary-coded form. A line-printer dendrogram plot displaying the final classification is generated as part of the output. Both normal and inverse association analysis can be performed.
