摘要

摘要:本文的研究范围是将层次聚类分析方法应用于人口统计数据，并讨论该方法存在的问题。人口变化、人口结构、生育率和死亡率等几个人口统计变量被用来对欧洲人口进行聚类，并确定它们之间的同质空间区域或相似之处。随后，对这些变量进行了检查，以解释多重共线性问题，这影响了聚类分析结果。用了几种方法来解决这个问题。结果表明，聚类分析的有效性和解释力增强。

Clustering of the Demographic Regimes of Europe at the National Level: A Methodological Assessment

Abstract:The scope of this paper is to apply the method of hierarchical cluster analysis to demographic data and discuss the problems of such an approach. Several demographic variables for population change, population structure, fertility and mortality were used to cluster European populations and identify homogenous spatial areas or resemblances among them. Subsequently, these variables were examined to account for the problem of multicollinearity, which affects the cluster analysis results. Several methods were used to solve this problem. Results indicate the validity of cluster analysis for such purposes and its enhanced interpretational power.
