_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Soft partitions of 21 countries based on macroeconomic data for
     the years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     data("Macro")

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A named cluster ensemble of 5 soft partitions of 21 countries into
     2 or 3 classes.  The names are the years to which the partitions
     correspond.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The partitions were obtained using fuzzy c-means on measurements
     of the following variables: the annual per capita gross domestic
     product (GDP) in USD (converted to 1987 prices); the percentage of
     GDP provided by agriculture; the percentage of employees who
     worked in agriculture; and gross domestic investment, expressed as
     a percentage of the GDP.  See Gordon and Vichi (2001), page 230,
     for more details.
