| Popis: | The aim of this study is to analyze multivariate construction about smoking using clustering methods. Clustering methods form successful cluster about this kind of multivariate construction.This research was applied upon the smoker health staff working at hospital and medical centers in Siirt in 2003 to investigate the variables about smoking. Especially 36 variables that belong to 54 chronic smoker health staffs were investigated. The observation rates of these variables were determined and to reveal clustering tendencies Ward Cluster Analysis, which is one of the hierarchical cluster analysis methods, was used. Taking into consideration belong to this sample, we obtained dendograms about several variables. By use of dendograms, clusters that explain the smoking habit with respect to sex, different habits, social and psychological standings of the individuals were formed. Visual characteristic of this method enables one to make interpretations that are more tangible. As conclusion, having used the ward cluster analysis on the variables related to smoking, we obtained successful and meaningful conclusions from the clusters. |
