As mentioned in clustering techniques based on similarity and distance, these concepts are traditionally associated with numerical variables. Hence, clustering techniques are used for numeric variables.

However, it is very likely that, at some point, you will find a problem that ought to consider a qualitative variable. We will look at a way to do this directly in the R console in the following.
