Link Analysis of Main Concepts Snapshot of single cluster Selecting a link creates a corresponding subset of data Displayed below are four records in which the terms bar and get rid of occur together Selecting a link creates a corresponding subset of data Displayed below are four records in which the terms bar and get rid of occur together A drill-down of all links in the cluster indicates that users find the navigation bar to be a pain. It stays on top of the screen all the time taking up large space on the screen. Users want the ISP to get rid of the bar.
