Results from an administration of the Math Anxiety Scale Survey.
First Column records student gender either Female or Male.
All statement answers have 5 possible ordinal categorical items:
Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, Strongly Agree.

datasets

The gap statistic approach is extended to estimate the number of clusters for categorical response format data. This approach and accompanying software is designed to be used with the output of any clustering algorithm and with distances specifically designed for categorical (i.e. multiple choice) or ordinal survey response data.
