You could try submitting your query to the Google Group MedStats. This is the home of the most notable statisticians, including Professor Martin Bland. Or you could google Martin Bland to find his website... I remember there being very useful entries including one on Cluster analysis.

Whist anyone (and I mean, anyone) can view the content of MedStats no strings attached, to post your query you will need to join MedStats (it's easy). One selling point about MedStats is that all of the discussion relating to your post is visible. And, if you join, you will have access to all the archived material: this is a huge advantage. I can say all this because I founded MedStats :).

Best Wishes,

Martin

Thank you for the pieces of advice!

My cases are related with a usual 'disadvantage group' of people. The idea
behind this analysis is showing the existence of different (multiple)
disadvantages within this 'disadvantage group'.

I have around 8 variables that are demographics (continuous + categorical
(nominal) + binary (e.g. renting/not renting)

10 variables that are related with employment (continuous categorical and
binary); and

8 variables that are related with claiming benefits (nominal - two options:
claiming or not claiming a particular benefit) 

Does cluster analysis make sense for my project?

Thank you

Silvia
