Hi all,
First and foremost let me thank all..for the quick
correspondance for all my mails and question. I can't
thank you guys enough. You are really great community
here.

I have a question. I am running Splus 6.0 Rel 2 on
Windows NT 4.0.

# data frame
#col1    col2  col3 
A1       25     12
A2       12     11
A3       10     21
A4      -16     1
A5      -18     3
B1      -21     5
B2      -25     8
B3      -9      8
B4       15     8
B5       22     15
.        .      .
.        .      .
.        .      .

I want to group the data into "optimized groups" using
this objective function. 
 = (Sum[1 to G] [ Ng*CORg*STDEVg]) / (SUM[1 to G]Ng)

Where

Ng Number of Names in Group g

CORg is the correlation between col2 and col3 in Group
G
STDEVg is the Standard deviation in group G
SUM[1 to G][ Ng*CORg*STDEVg])  means sum the product
Ng*CORg*STDEVg for all the groups - SUMMATION OPERATOR
SUM[1 to G]Ng mean sum the Ng for all the groups -
SUMMATION OPERATOR

So I like to see how many groups optimizes the overall
objective function and also the constiuents of the
optimized group.

I have tried with many loops and It is not really
getting to where I want. I hope someone here will have
some method to get the results using iterative
process.
 
And again thanks a lot for all your help
Joepaul
