Suppose we gave four columns of factor scores, f1av to f4av, which we wish plot for each of two clusters, cluster membership forming a sixth column, as in the table below. A bit of editing in the chart editor yields this. F1av F2av F3av F4av clus 1 2 2 2 1 2 5 1 4 1 3 4 3 5 2 2 3 4 6 2 A multiple line plot can be drawn using the syntax below. Incidentally, Morey et al (1983) suggest the use of Ward's hierarchical clustering method due to its relatively superior power compared to other methods.
