Stopping rules

Hello,

I do not understand the meaning of 'stopping rules'. Here is an example:

We provide two analyses, one based upon a dendrogram clustering analysis with two types of stopping rules and the other on the use of the McNemar test statistic.

Thank you in advance!

Chloee I do not understand the meaning of 'stopping rules'. In computer based analysis the "stopping rules" determine when the calculation will end. They are often based on the computer resources that will be used versus the expected improvement in the result for one more iteration of the calculation.
