Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The choice of data transformation technique influences clustering outcomes. → Fabian Santiago-Muñoz 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Data-transformation step of the methodology: five dataset versions (min-max, l2, z-score, robust, original) were each used to build clustering models, and the experiments indicated transformation choice influenced outcomes.
"Our experiments indicated that the choice of transformation technique influences clustering outcomes, highlighting the importance of testing multiple normalization approaches when performing cluster analysis."
