Abstract

CLAVIJO M, J. A and GRANADA D, H. A. A Classification Technique With Categorical Variables. Ciencia en Desarrollo [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.1, pp.15-20. ISSN 0121-7488.

Abstract This paper presents a classification algorithm for elements characterized by categorical variables, using k-modes, a procedure analogous to k-means. At the same time we have included flowcharts for the algorithm implementation in any programming language. We also present a simple example, with real data, illustrating the proposal.

Keywords : Cluster; Distance; Dissimilarity; k-means; k-modes.
