Abstract

Clustering deals with finding a structure in a collection of unlabeled data with the aid of unsupervised learning. The aim of the study was to investigate evidence of a more complex structure of schizophrenia. Analysis with hierarchical clustering was applied to a sample of chizophrenic patients who had been scored on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.
