Abstract/Contents: | States that "the purpose of classification is to organize the members of a large population of objects into groups or classes of objects so that the nature of, and relationships between, the objects can be more easily understood." Describes the general theory of numerical taxonomy, data selection, and weighting and standardization of variables. Provides a suggested procedure for general soil classification. |
