What is MariMaxCor?
MariMaxCor is a program that performs a hierarchical
cluster analysis, according to the algorithm devised
by J. Elshout, M. Elshout-Mohr, & P. van de
Wijgaart. MariMaxCor is freely downloadable
for everyone.
The algorithm used is a modified
version of the 'common' cluster analysis. The
'Mari' in MariMaxCor stands for 'marrying',
in other words: reciprocity. In this case the
reciprocity lies in the correlations between
variables in the matrix.

Aside from that, the original report on MariMaxCor:
Elshout, J. J., Elshout-Mohr, M. & van de
Wijgaart, P. (1969). Marimaxcor: hiërarchische
clusteranalyse uitgaande van een intercorrelatiematrix
(FL.14.11.69.004). Amsterdam: Afdeling Functieleer,
Instituut voor cognitieonderzoek, Universiteit van
Amsterdam.

Who are responsible for MariMaxCor?
The MariMaxCor algorithm was devised in the 1960's
of last century by Jan Elshout, now emeritus professor
of Psychology at The University of Amsterdam, and his
associates.
After previous versions of the program running on
various computer systems, Mark Rietveld wrote the
final version of MariMaxCor for the Macintosh in 2002.
