This paper focuses on similarity measures applicable in agglomerative clustering analysis of datasets with binary variables and their impact on resulting clustering solutions. Specifically, it analyzes 65 measures for binary data. The analysis of the influence of selecting a measure on the outputs of ...
Cluster analysis works most appropriately with binary or continuous data (numeric variables). If you have categorical variables (ordinal or nominal data), you have to group them into binary values - either 0 or 1. Another approach for handling categorical data : We will create (k-1) variables...

Hierarchical clustering techniques can handle quantitative, binary, or count data, and performs well with smaller sample sizes. Latent cluster analysis offers great flexibility, and is particularly suitable for variables with different measurement levels, large samples, longitudinal data, and multilevel ...

Defining the binary variables uij={1ifobservationibelongstoclusterj0otherwise, and the centroid μj∈Rp of each cluster j, the problem of minimizing the within-cluster variance is formulated in Aloise, Hansen, and Liberti (2012) as the following mixed integer nonlinear program (62)min∑i=1n∑...
In many cases, researchers test for differences between groups, or relationships between variables. The first aim is to establish the presence or absence of an effect (e.g. a difference of a relationship); this is a binary decision. If there is indeed an effect, the second aim is to ...

I'm performing a cluster analysis on a health insurance dataset (using proc distance and proc cluster) containing 4,343 observations with mixed continuous and binary variables. I understand the importance of standardizing continuous variables. However, given the wide range of values for some of my...
