The component scores for each day are computed and the 2873 by 6 data matrix are used in the clustering analysis. To determine the number of clusters that are [used] in the k-means procedure, the pseudo-F and pseudo-T2 statistics are used as guide lines (Davis and Kalkstein, 1990). The pseudo-F statistic describes the ratio of between cluster variance to within cluster variance. Peaks in the pseudo-F statistic are indicators of greater cluster separation. Pseudo-T2 quantifies the difference between the two clusters that are merged at a given step. Thus, if a given cluster (k) solution gives a jump in the pseudo-T2 statistic, than the k+1 cluster solution in selected as the optimal cluster. Any cluster represented with more than 20 percent of the total number of days would then be sub-clustered.
