This work arose from the initiative of Professor Rinaldo Luiz Caraciolo Ferreira. Always observing the lack of work in this area of practices solved step by step along with the theory, which allowed them to test and validate the acquisition of theoretical knowledge about cluster analysis. This book aims to introduce, in a simple and objective way, some concepts of cluster analysis most commonly used in research data analysis involving the measurement of a number of variables, objects, individuals, etc. When writing this study, we tried to keep in mind the didactic aspect, since one of the objectives is that it can be used in undergraduate, postgraduate and training courses in the most diverse areas. In the sense of being able to help and bridge possible gaps in the exposition of this technique, we are grateful and always receptive to the critical spirit of teachers and students.
