It performs the task of assigning some set of objects into the groups also known as clusters. It is used to perform the data mining job using the technique like statistical data analysis. It includes all the information and knowledge around many fields like machine learning, pattern recognition, image analysis and bio-informatics. Cluster analysis performs the iterative process of knowledge discovery and includes trials and failures.
