Clustering Method for 2-Dimensional Ordered Samples and Its Application to the Compilation of Maps of Regional Division

In this paper,on the basis of simple study of the existing methods for 2-dimensional ordered samples,the problems of geographic regionalization are generally analysed and concluded into 3 groups,further more,a new definition of clustering analysis for the 2-dimensional ordered samples and its corresponding algorithms which are generally applicable are carried out.Finally,an example is offered to illustrate the use of the given method in the compilation of maps of regional division.
