K-Means Clustering Results Dialog

To display the k-Means Clustering Results dialog box, click the OK button in the Cluster Analysis: K-Means Clustering dialog box .Do this if the Batch processing and reporting check box is not selected on the Cluster Analysis: K-Means Clustering dialog box - Advanced tab). This dialog box contains two tabs: Quick and Advanced.

Button Description
Summary box The Summary box at the top of the dialog displays a general summary of the current analysis.

Copy button:

To copy either the selected text (if text has been selected) in the Summary box or all of the text (if no text has been selected) to the Clipboard, click the Copy button . Note that the copied text retains formatting information (such as font, color, and so on).

Contract/Expand button:

To contract or expand the Summary box, click the Contract/Expand button . When contracted, you can see only one line of the Summary box text and can scroll through the text using a scroll bar. Note that when contracted the text is scrolled so that the first non-blank line is at the top. When expanded (the default setting), the entire Summary box will be displayed in the k-Means Clustering Results dialog box.
Summary To display two spreadsheets, click the Summary button :

  • A spreadsheet with the means for each cluster for each dimension;

  • A spreadsheet with the Euclidean distances (below the diagonal) and squared Euclidean distances (above the diagonal) between "cluster centers."

Specifically, this matrix shows the Euclidean distances between clusters, computed from the respective cluster means on the dimensions used for the classification. The distance between two objects or cluster centers i and j are computed as:

where the summation is over the ND dimensions in the current analysis.
