CONT

Two ways of exploring the relationships within a set of objects are: classification, in which the objects are partitioned into groups of similar objects; and ordination, in which the objects are represented by a configuration of points in a low-dimensional space, with contiguity of points indicating similarity of the corresponding objects. (Source: MATHSCI: Cf. P.G.N. Digby and J.C. Gower: Ordination and Classification, Montréal : Presses de l'Université de Montréal, 1986).
