Using Ward’s minimum-variance hierarchical clustering method, 497 subjects were clustered to a single final group. At each generation of clusters, samples were merged into larger clusters to minimize the within-cluster sum of squares or maximize between-cluster sum of squares. With successive clustering, three balanced groups became obvious.
