Abstract:
|
This talk will describe some of Bernie Harris' contributions to cluster analysis. The problem of cluster analysis is, given observation vectors on a sample of objects or individuals, group them. Harris focused on the detection of clustering by viewing the situation via the number of edges and cliques in graphs, in particular, via the expected number by chance alone. The talk also includes personal reminiscences, collected over years of interaction at various conferences, esp. the Classification Society (Bernie was an active member for a number of years and organized and hosted one of our meetings) and sessions of the Risk Analysis Section at JSM (Bernie was a founding member).
