Nevertheless, little effort has been expended in evaluating these methods empirically using an archeological data set. In this way, this work has the objective to develop a comparative study of the cluster analysis methods and to identify what is the most appropriate for an archeological data set. For this, 45 ceramic fragments samples data set was analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). And, five hierarchical methods of cluster were used to this data set: Single linkage, Complete linkage, Average linkage, Centroid and Ward. The validation was done calculating cophenetic correlation coefficient values by a statistical program R and the comparison between them showed the average linkage method was more accurate for the 45 ceramic fragments samples data set. With this, the statistical program R showed be an tool option for other scientists to calculate their cophenetic correlation coefficient and to identify the more accurate methods for their archeological data set. 2019 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280838090 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.2A Vol.7 |
