Subject: cluster analysis with dichotomous variable
I would like to cluster subjects on a pattern of responses to a set of
dichotomous variables. That is, I have subjects with yes/no responses to 13
variables and I want to cluster them so that all those with similar patterns
would be in the same cluster. For example,
Cluster 1
000...111
000...111
...
Cluster 2
010...001
010...001
...
and so on.
Will the cosine similarity measure produce this type of output?
