Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, Stunting, Centroid LinkageAbstract
Stunting is a long-term nutritional problem that generally occurs in children under five years old and is characterized by a shorter body than other children of the same age due to continuous dietary deficiencies. As a result of the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) conducted in 2023, the stunting rate in East Java decreased to 17.7%. In 2024, the target is to reduce it to 14%. This study aims to group regencies and cities in East Java based on indicators of child nutritional status by using five linkage approaches in the hierarchical clustering method. This study found areas with similar causes of stunting so that intervention programs can be more targeted. The analysis showed that the centroid linkage methods formed two clusters with the highest cophenetic correlation coefficient of 0.8619. The first cluster consists of 37 regencies/cities with a low stunting category, and the second cluster consists of one regency/city with a high stunting category. The model in this clustering has a silhouette value of 0.6155, which indicates that the model is in the good category.
