Member Training: Cluster Analysis–Hierarchical and KMeans

Cluster analysis classifies individuals into two or more unknown groups based on a set of numerical variables.

It is related to, but distinct from, a few other multivariate techniques including discriminant Function Analysis, which classifies individuals into known groups, factor analysis, which groups variables based on individual’s responses, and Latent Class Analysis, which groups individuals based on categorical variables.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the different types of cluster analysis, and when each one is most useful.  We’ll delve into some of the options for measuring similarity among individuals, and show some useful plots.
