combining results of two clusterings

   Hi all,

I'm stuck in what I guess is a trivial problem...

Do you know a simple way to combine the results of two consecutive cluster
classifications? I mean, I first classify /N/ observations into Z clusters
(so I have a table of N observations by Z clusters); then I classify these
Z clusters into /z/ clusters (so I got a /Z/ by /z/ table). Now I want to
assign the /z/ values to my /N/ observations.

thank you very much for your help,

Andres

Hi Andres,

let's say? that "Z" is the vector with your first classification (i.e.,
which assigns observations to clusters Z) and "z" the vector with the
second one.

z[Z]

would assign each observation to each z cluster
