Screencast by Craig Andera through Code School is a great way to start. Easy to understand and very well explained.

My plan is to go through this screencast, learn the basics, then read through "Programming Clojure" by Stuart Halloway which Roy has recommended as a great book.
And then work through examples in 4clojure website and clojure koans code.
(http://www.4clojure.com/ and http://clojurekoans.com/)

Clojure website has lot of resources if you need to refer. http://clojure.org/getting_started

TSK - Chapter 8 - Cluster Analysis

Cluster analysis could be defined as "Finding groups of objects such that the objects in a group will be similar (or related) to one another and different from (or unrelated to) the objects in other groups."
In short, cluster analysis divides the data into groups(clusters) that are meaningful, useful or both.
There are many applications of cluster analysis to practical problems.
