[R] Help with Clustering Techniques in R

[Bill Vedder]

Greetings RListers,

I have a data set containing two types of outcomes; success and failure.
Associated with each outcome are 12  different measurements.  I'm trying
to find out, for example, if some of the 12 measures are associated more
with success or failure or, if there's any relationship at all between
the measures and the outcomes (success or failure).

I don't have (as yet) any experience using clustering techniqes (in R or
elsewhere) but thought that they might be applied in this situation.

In general, are clustering techniques useful in this situation? Is any
techniques better than another?

And more specifically, can I use R to determine clustering characterics
of the 12 measures and then, for each cluster, have R output whether the
cluster is more associated with success or failure?

Any help appreciated,

Bill Vedder
