standardized by using median instead of mean. Then, the scoring was performed
according to defined coefficients. After that normality test of the obtained
scores was performed, the area of each score under standard normal distribution
curve was calculated and the scores were moved to the
0-100range.Finally,scoreswerecollectedunder5groupsas“Verygood,
Good,NotBad,BadandVeryBad”byusingk-means algorithm. Clustering were
made on R Studio.
Findings-Our analyses conducted that REITs
traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange are divided into two subgroups depending
on their financial data.
Conclusion- It will be important the REITs, in
the sub-group especially in terms of the score distribution, to diversify their
portfolio by extending their asset investments, to stabilize dividend payments
and to take steps on institutionalization so that they are equivalent to REITs
