Q: Cluster analysis - Ward + Euclid

A friend of mine who's a biologist is currently doing cluster analysis
on some statistics relating to plants, etc.

She's using an Euclidian distance and Ward's method for grouping 
of observations - in SYSSTAT (but the tool should matter).

Can any of you please explain this method to me.
It seems easy to understand the method from the text books,
however my hand calculated results doesn't match those
produced by SYSSTAT.


Please answer by mail.
