Applications Of Cluster And Correspondence Analysis Methods In The
Universidad Nacional De San Antonio Abad Del Cusco Admission Exam
Results Study, 2022
ABSTRACT
The objective of this research was to analyze the APPLICATIONS OF THE CLUSTER AND
CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS METHODS IN THE UNSAAC ADMISSION EXAM RESULTS
STUDY, 2022, were applied statistical techniques of cluster analysis such as the two-stage algorithm,
pam (partition around medoids) and clear (Clustering Large Applications) in order to meet the stated
objective, the research had a quantitative approach, descriptive in scope, while the research design is
non-experimental, transversal type; Likewise, the study population is the students who have already
graduated from regular basic education who applied in the different semesters of the San Antonio Abad
University of Cusco.
3 algorithms have been used to cluster individuals, such as the PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids) and
CLARA (Clustering Large Applications) algorithms and the two-stage algorithm, a distance matrix was
calculated with Gower's mixed distance methodology, in Therefore, it was decided to use the two-stage
algorithm because it had a better measure of cohesion and separation silhouette; It was determined that
4 clusters were suitable to describe the profiles of the applicants where it was observed that cluster 1 has
a prevalence of students who did not enter when they applied, their average age is 18.49 years and their
average grade was 7.44, their majority origin She is from Cusco, female, comes from a national school
and mostly applies to group D. In cluster 2, there is a prevalence of students who did achieve a vacancy
at UNSAAC, with an average age of 20.7 years and their average grade was 12.58. , his origin is mostly
from Cusco, male, from a national school; In cluster 3, there is a prevalence of students who did not
enter when they applied, their average age is 18.49 years and their average grade was 7.67, their origin
is mostly from Cusco, they are male, they come from a private school and they mostly apply to the group
A; In cluster 4, there is a prevalence of students who did not enter when they applied, their average age
is 18.50 years and their average grade was 7.75, their origin is mostly from Cusco, they are female, they
come from a private school and they mostly apply to the group A.
Keywords: profile, applicants, two-stage algorithm, PAM, CLARA.
