Subject | st: cluster analysis: differences between clusters |
Date | Fri, 7 Mar 2014 12:32:06 +0100 |
Dear statalist-users I performed optimal matching for all sequences in the dataset against all others using -sqom- and the option -full-. Afterwards I grouped them using cluster analysis. Now I'd like to test whether the clusters are reliably different. My first thought was using ANOVA. However, this seems not possible since I compared all sequences against each other which results in a distance matrix. What do you suggest in order to test whether the differences between clusters are significant?
