clusters, based on J distinct, contributory partitions (or, equivalently, J polytomous attributes). We describe a new model/algorithm for implementing this objective. The method's objective function incorporates a modified Rand measure, both in initial cluster selection and in subsequent refinement of the starting partition. The method is applied to both synthetic and real data. The performance of the proposed model is compared to latent class analysis of the same data set.
