Examples from Cluster Analysis
When analysing a human population, various statistics such as:
- age
- income
- ownership of home or car
- time spent out of the house each week
are likely to show evidence for several distinct clusters, each corresponding to a category such as:
- unemployed
- pensioners
- students
and so on.
