| dc.description.abstract | Clustering as an unsupervised technique is predominantly
used in unweighted settings. In this paper, we present an efficient version
of a robust clustering algorithm for sparse educational data that takes
the weights, aligning a sample with the corresponding population, into
account. The algorithm is utilized to divide the Finnish student population
of PISA 2012 (the latest data from the Programme for International
Student Assessment) into groups, according to their attitudes and perceptions
towards mathematics, for which one third of the data is missing.
Furthermore, necessary modifications of three cluster indices to reveal an
appropriate number of groups are proposed and demonstrated. | fi |
