Partitions of 15 kinship terms given by 85 female undergraduates at Rutgers University who were asked to sort the terms into classes “on the basis of some aspect of meaning”.
data("Kinship82")A cluster ensemble of 85 hard partitions of the 15 kinship terms.
Rosenberg+Kim:1975 describe an experiment where perceived
similarities of the kinship terms were obtained from six different
“sorting” experiments. These “original” Rosenberg-Kim
kinship terms data were published in
Arabie+Carroll+DeSarbo:1987, and are also contained in file
indclus.data in the shell archive
https://netlib.org/mds/indclus.shar.
For one of the experiments, partitions of the terms were printed in Rosenberg:1982. Comparison with the original data indicates that the partition data have the “nephew” and “niece” columns interchanged, which is corrected in the data set at hand.
