Psychometric rationale

The psychometric rationale behind cluster analysis is to assume that there is a latent partition of the products that each subject is trying to retrieve in the course of the sorting task. Thus, it follows that an appealing feature of such a strategy of analysis is that the outcomes (i.e. a partition or a hierarchically organized set of partitions) are of the same nature as the inputs (i.e. partitions of products associated with the various subjects).
