Christian Martin Hennig (born 1966) is a German statistician. His work focuses on robust
cluster analysis
Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some sense) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters). It is a main task of ...

Education and career
Hennig completed his doctorate in 1997 at the University of Hamburg, Germany, under the supervision of Konrad Behnen.
