(a) The dendrogram for 16 powder diffraction patterns calculated using the complete link method. The data are partitioned into five clusters each with a unique colour. (b) The corresponding metric multidimensional scaling (MMDS) plot in which each sphere represents a single diffraction pattern. The sphere colours are taken from the dendrogram. Each cluster is well defined. (c)–(f) show typical silhouettes for four of the clusters. They are compact and have no entries less than 0.5 in value of silhouette. (The fifth cluster is equally well defined and omitted for brevity.) Table 1 shows these results numerically. |
