Abstract:

In this talk, a procedure that employs both multiple correspondence and cluster analyses to classify subtypes of medical and psychiatric disorders, will be described. This kind of subtyping is valuable in both medical researches and clinical practices. For example, in genetic studies, it enables researchers to identify genetic heterogeneity in complex disorders prior to linkage analysis. Also, it enables physicians and psychiatrists to prescribe treatment targeting specific subtype of certain disorder. This talk will include an application of this procedure to opioid dependence disorder.
