Title of the communication: Statistical analysis of a complete sample of Southern AGN
Preliminary abstract (12 lines max.):
In 1989-1994 we have made observations of a complete sample of Southern blazars with the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope, SEST, in Chile. Together with data obtained at other frequency bands, mainly gathered from literature, these data can be used to study the classification of sources by advanced statistical methods. We have used Principle Components Analysis and Cluster Analysis to study the parameter space and classification of AGN, for example to try to determine if the division into BL Lac objects, high polarization quasars and low polarization quasars is supported by these observations.
