Human genetic clustering analysis uses mathematical cluster analysis infer population genetic structures. A similar analysis can done using principal components analysis, which in earlier research was a popular method. Many of recent studies in the past few years have returned to using principal components analysis. See race and genetics for a discussion of research using these techniques.
