Hi List,

How would I go about best identifying the variables contributing most to
the specific clusters?
eg using either aglomerative or partitioning methods, but with mixed
variables (ie including categorical) eg:

factor(as.integer(runif(min=1, max=5,nrow(USArrests))))->t1
as.data.frame(cbind(USArrests,categ=t1))->test
agnes(test,metric="gower", method="ward")->test1
cutree(test1,k=5)->clust


?where to go from here?

Any hints appreciated
Thanx
Herry
