1. A method for clustering data or objects taking the form of an array S, each of the elements of said array S corresponding to a value of similarity s ij existing between said data or objects, said method being implemented within a computer linked with a database containing the data or objects to be clustered comprising a work memory, and a processor, the method comprising: 1) determining a number k of classes of objects in the following manner: take one of the data or objects, O of a profile for O i is the smallest, Place the individual O Consider the remaining data or objects different from O if a relationship l repeat until all the data or objects O 2) for each of the κ classes found in step 1), determine the value of the relationships between a class C Otherwise, merge the class considered C until stability of this criterion is obtained, on completion of step 2), the method has L classes with L≦κ, 3) determining, for each object of each class C
