    Cluster analysis can be used for understanding data by grouping related documents, genes, proteins, or stocks. It can also help summarize large datasets by reducing their size into clusters of similar elements. For example, k-means clustering has been used to partition global maps of sea surface temperature and net primary production into northern and southern hemisphere clusters reflecting temperature and biological activity differences between the two regions.
