Clustering is the /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification> classification of objects into different groups, or more precisely, the /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_a_set> partitioning of a /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_set> data set into /simplesend.com/simple/t.asp?S=138&ID=22311&NL=1110&N=29665&SI=2455102&URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset> subsets (clusters), so that the data in each subset (ideally) share some common trait - often proximity according to some defined /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_(mathematics)> distance measure. Data clustering is a common technique for /simplesend.com/simple/t.asp?S=138&ID=22311&NL=1110&N=29665&SI=2455102&URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics> statistical /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_analysis> data analysis, which is used in many fields, including /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning> machine learning, /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining> data mining, /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_recognition> pattern recognition, /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_analysis> image analysis and /simplesend.com/simple/t.asp?S=138&ID=22311&NL=1110&N=29665&SI=2455102&URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics> bioinformatics.
