Which method of analysis does not classify variables as dependent or independent?

A) regression analysis

B) discriminant analysis

C) cluster analysis

D) analysis of variance

Cluster analysis does not require the use of dependent and independent variable.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Regression measures the relationship between two or more variables. It examines the relationship between dependent and independent variable.

Discriminant analysis is a technique used by researchers to measure the relationship between the dependent variable and one or more in dependent variables.

Cluster analysis is a technique that is used for exploratory research. It does not involve the use of dependent and independent variable.

Analysis of variance is used for measuring the influence that independent variable has on the dependent variable in regression analysis.
