[R] Clusteranalysis

[C. Schulz]

Hello,

in marketing-science field i do some 
clusteranalysis and get the experience that 
the scale cause the results dramatic!

What recommendation can somebody give me, when i use
nominal-variables(recode to 0/1 variables) with
6 point ordinal-variables.
Is it better toDo a z-transformation with the ordinal variables
, or should i recode this values in 0/1 binaries, too! 

P.S.
Which is a good cluster fkt.
in R ?


Thanks for Advance
