چکیده

A method is proposed that combines dimension reduction and cluster analysis for categorical data by simultaneously assigning individuals to clusters and optimal scaling values to categories in such a way that a single between variance maximization objective is achieved. In a unified framework, a brief review of alternative methods is provided and we show that the proposed method is equivalent to GROUPALS applied to categorical data. Performance of the methods is appraised by means of a simulation study. The results of the joint dimension reduction and clustering methods are compared with the so-called tandem approach, a sequential analysis of dimension reduction followed by cluster analysis. The tandem approach is conjectured to perform worse when variables are added that are unrelated to the cluster structure. Our simulation study confirms this conjecture. Moreover, the results of the simulation study indicate that the proposed method also consistently outperforms alternative joint dimension reduction and clustering methods.

Correspondence Clustering: An Approach to Cluster Multiple Related Spatial Datasets

Domain experts are frequently interested to analyze multiple related spatial datasets. This capability is important for change analysis and contrast mining. In this paper, a novel clustering approach called correspondence clustering is introduced that clusters two or more spatial datasets by maximizing cluster interestingness and correspondence between clusters derived from different datasets. ...

Semantic Structure from Correspondence Analysis

A common problem for clustering techniques is that clusters overlap, which makes graphing the statistical structure in the data difficult. A related problem is that we often want to see the distribution of factors (variables) as well as classes (objects). Correspondence Analysis (CA) offers a solution to both these problems. The structure that CA discovers may be an important step in representi...

A Continuum of Consumer Attitudes Toward Genetically Modified Foods in the United States

A national telephone survey was conducted in the United States in April 2002 to study the consumer acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods. Attitudes toward GM foods were examined through the use of a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), analyzing the interrelationships among many categorical variables. This method was combined with a cluster analysis to construct a typology of consume...

Pattern Recognition Approach in Multidimensional Databases: Application to the Global Terrorism Database

This paper presents a pattern recognition approach in multidimensional databases. The approach is based on a clustering method using the distance measurement between a reference profile and the database observations. Two distance measurements will be proposed: an adaptation of the Khi formula to the multidimensional context, extracted from the Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), and the Euc...
