Cluster analysis is a general method for classifying a finite collection of objects with respect to their dissimilarity. The Janowitz model of cluster method is a formalization based on isotope mappings of posets. In the present paper, normalized cluster methods are investigated as a special class of residuated mappings. It is shown that there are eleven essential classes of normalized clustering methods with respect to Galois connection applied to residuated maps. In the concluding part a practical interpretation of the theoretical results is shown.
