3M – Block Clustering

Block Clustering using BMDP Statistical Software Program 3M

This program is appropriate for categorical data and groups subsets of cases into clusters that are alike for subsets of variables. 3M reorders the rows and columns of the original data matrix and uses different symbols to identify “blocks” of data.
