Non-metric conceptual clustering: a new tool for investigating urban quality of life (1)

Based on the use of a non-metric conceptual clustering technique, this empirical study explores the quality of life of a small metropolitan city. The RIFFLE program, developed at Western Washington University, is utilized to explicitly address the clustering algorithm where a subset n of m variables...
