K-Means Dialog

The K-Means button is found on the toolbar and under Outlier Detection.

  • Number of Clusters: The number of clusters to be calculated.
  • Maximum iterations: How many times the calculations will be run, more iterations will refine the results at the cost of longer processing times.
  • Determine Number of PCs Using Variance Explained: Can be used to determine the number of PCs (i.e. dimensionality) of the K-Means test using variance explained instead of number of PCs
  • Number of PCs (1-25): The number of principal components representing the workspace.
  • Scale PC Scores to Variance Explained: Normalizes the scale on the workspace scores using the variance explained.
  • Switch Display Style to by Cluster: Automatically changes the display style to cluster, after running a K-Means Test.
  • Use Custom Seed For First Centroid: Allows the selection of a custom seed instead of a randomly generated one, creates consistent results across runs.

Running a K-Means Test
