Abstract(s)

Cluster analysis or classification usually concerns a set of exploratory multivariate data analysis methods and techniques for grouping either a set of statistical data units or the associated set of descriptive variables, into clusters of similar and, hopefully, well separated elements. In this work we refer to an extension of this paradigm to generalized three-way data representations and particularly to classification of interval variables. Such approach appears to be especially useful in large data bases, mostly in a data mining context. A health sciences case study is partially discussed.
