Abstract
R. G. Rychtarik, J. R. Koutsky, and W. R. Miller (1998) used cluster analys es to derive 12 near perfectly replicated profiles of the nonmarital subsca les of the Alcohol Use Inventory (AUT; J. L. Horn, K. PI. Wanberg, & F. M. Foster, 1990). Since publication of that report, a recode error in the comp utation of the AUI SUSTAIND subscale was discovered in the database on whic h the clusters were derived. Reanalyses of the corrected data have since fo und that an 8-cluster solution now achieves near-perfect replication. This article presents these results, including corrected profiles, tables, and c luster comparisons.
