Hello, in marketing-science field i do some clusteranalysis and get the experience that the scale cause the results dramatic! What recommendation can somebody give me, when i use nominal-variables(recode to 0/1 variables) with 6 point ordinal-variables. Is it better toDo a z-transformation with the ordinal variables , or should i recode this values in 0/1 binaries, too! P.S. Which is a good cluster fkt. in R ? Thanks for Advance _______________________________________________________________________ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
