The Shape of the Inverse Scree Test for Cluster Analysis.
Lathrop, Richard G.; Williams, Janice E.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n4 p827-34 Win 1989
A Monte Carlo study determined the Inverse Scree Test's shape with various numbers of true groups and under different conditions of distribution shape and sample size. Six simulated distributions of 3,000 subjects each and 1 with 1,500 were created. Findings suggest relative distribution independence, number independence, and modest curvilinearity. (SLD)
