I plan to cluster a categorical survey data set with 30 questions (5 answer choices to each). I am a bit confused about whether MCA is really needed?



I would be able to cluster using the K-modes algorithm anyway. So where does MCA come into play? I know it can be used to reduce the dimensionality, but is it going to be used AFTER I have the cluster labels from K-modes so that I can project these labels unto a lower dimensional space (3,4 etc)that is more suited to visualization? Practically speaking I want to know at what stage should I do the MCA, after the k-modes or before?



Also how do I visualize the results of K modes clustering?, since the axes do not represent distance anymore.
