Deciding on a final set of attributes that the cluster analysis can be based on and that must be reasonably composed according to the attributes' frequency distribution and belonging to one of the four superordinate thematic layers
;Also, the selected attributes should be evenly divided between the four superordinate layers of attributes in order to avoid possibly distorting effects.
