TAXONOMICAL CLASSIFICATION OF HEMATOPOIETIC CD34+ CELL SUBSETS FROM DIVERSE ORIGIN

Taxonomy is one of the numerous methods of classifying empirical data. In this work the Wroclaw Taxonomy has been chosen (this method has been previously implemented in the classification of bacteria yersinia pestis ) [1, 2]. The aim is to group 5 different sources of HPC (j = 5 of the studied objects): normal and mobilized BM, normal PB, leukapheresis products, cord blood, depending on 13 common features which describe the objects (i.e. i = 13 measurement variables). The objects will be compared between themselves but not in reference to the optimal model.
