When looking at the histogram distribution of medoids from a cluster analysis, clara{cluster}, they are close to normally distributed around zero. The cluster plot, clusplot{cluster}, does not suggest distinct partitions. How should the histogram distribution of medoids be interpreted? Can one say that there is a relationship between lack of obvious partitioning, and the distribution of the mediods? If clustering was apparent, would it then be expected that medoids would not be distributed normally? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
