In this paper we outline a theoretical framework within which the properties of such methods may be discussed. Certain conditions that a cluster method should satisfy are suggested, and a particular sequence of cluster methods which satisfies these conditions is described. The application of the sequence of methods is illustrated by a simple example. This content is only available as a PDF. © The British Computer Society
