Abstract

In this work we propose a flexible and interpretable data driven combination of dimensionality reduction and clustering for ordinal data matrices based on percentiles, which are suitable location measures for ordinal data. We discuss the proposal using a subset of data coming from the World Values Survey Wave 7.
