Bert,
Thank you for the suggestion but I am familiar with the clustering routines in
R. My issue is how to carry out a grouping analysis on multi variate data that
includes postcode shape file data as a variable.
Rather than obtain clusters spread across the map I am looking to limit the
solution to groups that are entirely contiguous. I know how to accomplish this
with SAS but I am looking to accomplish this using R.
Kind Regards
