Cluster analysis is a statistical technique used to group similar objects or data points based on their characteristics. The goal is to identify patterns or structures within data without any prior knowledge of the groups. By measuring the similarity or distance between objects, cluster analysis divides the data into distinct clusters where members of each cluster are more similar to one another than to members of other clusters. This method is widely used in various fields such as marketing for customer segmentation, biology for classifying species, and machine learning for exploratory data analysis.
