Includes bibliographical references (page 14). "This report describes an operational research tool for dividing a set of scalar values into categories or clusters without having to specify the number of clusters in advance. The method has a theoretical underpinning based on a statistical test for outliers of a uniform distribution derived by D.A. Darling in 1952. The problem arose in an operational research study for the Canadian Department of National Defence in which it was necessary to segment a set of 82 options into categories based on a numerical score. The theoretical background is described and examples are given to illustrate the methodology"--Abstract, page i. gccst Data processing Defence R&D Canada.
