Note that SPSS CLUSTER provides a HUGE number of distance measures (26 of which appear in the dropdown as appropriate for binary data) and seven different clustering methods.  Pretty much impossible to recommend anything with simply the information that the variables are nominal.

Dear All,

I am trying to do cluster analysis for 305 cases with 44 variables. All 44
variables are nominal data (1 or 0). Would you please suggest me, which
cluster analysis method will be suitable for such data.

Thank you.
