Kuramura,

You need to look for a appropriate dissimilarity coefficient. Jochen
Bacher published a 196 page script  on cluster analysis from the 2002 ZA
spring seminary at Cologne University which explains the pros & cons of
the different dissimilarity coefficient, too. You find the legit
downloadable text at
