Abstract

This chapter introduces the spin-and-brush approach to cluster analysis. In this approach we run a (grand) tour, stop when a separated cluster of points is visible, paint the cluster a selected colour, and continue until the data is grouped. It shows how interactive graphics tools can be used to implement the approach.
