The Cluster Analysis of Multivariable Panel Data and its Application

Abstract:

The research on statistical analysis of multivariable panel data is a blank in China. The paper tries to do the basal study on cluster analysis of multivariable panel data. This paper firstly analyses the numeric characteristic and constructs anew the distance function of multivariable panel data and the function of sum of squares. On this base, the paper explains the arithmetic and process of cluster analysis. At last, an experimental analysis is done on productive efficiency of the industrial enterprises in China.
