Just some odd thoughts rather than a clear strategy. Say you have 75 attributes and 500 objects.

  1. Define a measure of distance between any pair of objects, e.g. 75 minus the number of common objects or 1 over the number of common objects.
  2. Calculate all distances between pairs. This gives you 250*499 distances.
  3. Apply some kind of clustering algorithm, e.g. nearest neighbors or something. These should be available on CPAN.

Playing with distance measures and clustering algorithms (and their parameters) will lead you to a number of different solutions.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
