Hello Professor Cordova and Class,<\/p>\n
Chapter 11 briefly dives into several methods of analyzing data. Another method I read into is Cluster Analysis<\/em>. The purpose of a cluster analysis is to determine natural grouping of the units in each sample. Each group within the sample is called a cluster. The cluster analysis is sometimes confused with e a discriminate analysis but the important difference is that in a discriminant analysis, the groups and the group membership of the units are already known before the start of the analysis. In cluster analysis there are no groups or cluster already identified. In studies, researchers have used grouping or clustering units often because it is useful and can help the researcher generate hypothesis that can be tested later (Ghauri, 2010, Chapter 11). Let say an organization wanted to enhance implement a hr wellness program for their employees. In my organization, we receive a credit on our premiums if we complete wellness assessments and biometric screening. A cluster analysis can be used to find groups of employees who may be obsessed, drink heavy, have good or poor health. The company can use this data to develop a better wellness program. <\/p>\nReferences <\/p>\n
