Table 3: Malnutrition rate studies conducted in Iraq from 1991 to 2005. This study uses a two-step cluster analysis of opinion variables to segment consumers into four market segments (Potential activists, Environmentals, Neutrals, and National interests). Table 4: Malnutrition rate in Iraq by governorates. The goal of cluster analysis is to group objects together that are similar. Because the clustering method failed to separate the patient data into groups by obvious traditional physiological definitions these results confirm our hypothesis that clustering would find meaningful patterns of data that were otherwise impossible to physiologically discern or classify using traditional clinical definitions. Cluster profiles are examined . Cluster analysis is special case of TDA. Hierarchical cluster analysis allows visualization of high dimensional data and enables pattern recognition and identification of physiologic patient states. Table 5: Malnutrition rate by .. It is a Clustering customer behavior data for segmentation; Clustering transaction data for fraud analysis in financial services; Clustering call data to identify unusual patterns; Clustering call-centre data to identify outlier performers (high and low) Please do let us know if you find them useful. Table 1: Cluster analysis results. Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis in Iraq. Table 2: Household size and age structure by governorate. In 2004, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and COSIT published a survey (data collected in 2003) looking at the food security situation in Iraq. Data in the literature and market collections were organized in an Excel spreadsheet that contained species as rows and sources as columns. I think Ron Atkin introduced this stuff in the early 1970′s with his q-analysis (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-analysis). In addition to the edges of the graph, we will . The basic idea of TDA is to describe the “shape of the data” by finding clusters, holes, tunnels, etc. Clustering is the process of breaking down a large population that has a high degree of variation and noise into smaller groups with lower variation. It is the art of finding groups in data and relies on the meaningful interpretation of the researcher or classifier [16]. Simply stated, clustering involves Kaufman L, Rousseeuw PJ (2005) Finding groups in data: an introduction to Cluster Analysis. To extract more topological information— in particular, to get the homology groups— we need to do some more work.
