The R-mode cluster analysis is a mathematic statistical method for obtaining the quantitative similarity of several elements. Its procedure includes: the conversion of the original data; the solution of the relevant coefficient ; the clustering of the result. The above operation can be realized by using the data analysis tool of Excel. This method is quite suitable for field utilization.
