Regression and Cluster Analysis - Life Satisfaction

What factors influence life satisfaction?

To answer this question, I looked at data from the World Value Survey. The goal of this analysis is to find the most important factors that are correlated to self-reported life-satisfaction. To do so, I conducted a regression analysis and a lasso regression analysis. Moreover, I clustered the data and re-analysed it on cluster level with interesting findings.
