A Statistical Method for Grouping Lubricants by Properties

&
Pages 170-176 | Published online: 25 Mar 2008
 

Abstract

This paper discusses a statistical technique that can be used to investigate a family of lubricants with multivariate data in search of groups or clusters. A computer method for partitioning n lubricants into g groups is described. From this data grouping and perhaps further tests, a lubrication specialist could select lubricants with desirable properties for specific applications. The technique is illustrated on actual data collected on eight different properties of 21 wire-rope lubricants. All trade names of lubricants and names of properties are coded for the discussion.
