What Does HCA Stand For?
HCA stands for Hierarchical Cluster Analysis
Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) is a statistical method used for grouping a set of data points into clusters based on their similarity. This technique builds a hierarchy of clusters that can be represented in a dendrogram, showing the arrangement of clusters in a tree-like structure. HCA is widely utilized in various fields, including biology, marketing, and social sciences, to identify natural groupings within data, assess relationships, and uncover patterns that aid in decision-making.
