I have inherited a dataset consisting of 40 variables (binary, categorical
and continuous) which may be diagnostic predictors of the state of a tumour.
I was going to use cluster analysis using Gower's coefficient of similarity
(Cluster Analysis, Everitt et al) to find which variables best predict the
tumour state but this does not appear to be implemented in Stata 8. Is there
any other coefficicient or a completely different analysis I could use in
Stata. I really do not want to buy another statistical package but I will if
I have to.
Many thanks,
Janet
