Abstract

This project was done for Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena, the objective was to show the process data mining and cluster analysis application, using free software tools: PostgreSQL, suitable for storage data y R for statistical analysis and algorithms generation. The cluster analysis was implemented in the social, economic and academic data, of students at the Systems and Communications School. This process is described in three section distributed as follows: Section I, describes the concept associated with data mining, cluster analysis, tools for exploration of data. Section II, describes the process of cluster analysis with partitioned algorithm and using hierarchical algorithm on data set. Section III show the clusters after applying the technique in the academic, social and economic data set. Finally the conclusions and recommendations are mentioned.
