Abstract

The article is devoted to solving a pressing problem facing scholars of humanities worldwide, namely, creating and describing a software product that allows even novice (confident) computer users to use its capabilities more fully in their research activities. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign literature, a conclusion is made about the absence of a simple program for analyzing an extensive array of data using the clustering method, which allows for significantly simplifying the processes of analyzing large arrays of data and based on the results obtained, making certain conclusions or testing hypotheses obtained by the qualitative analysis method. The complexity of existing software products complicates this process since their use is possible only in cooperation with IT specialists. A description of the DendrogramGenerator software product, developed by the authors, is provided, which allows using all the capabilities of cluster analysis without any problems.
