https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Cluster-Analysis-with-SAS-When-the-data-are-mixed/m-p/47153#M12634 Hi..<BR /> <BR /> I have never done the cluster analysis with SAS before. I have read the websites and etc. The details are lengthy. Therefore, I am still confused about what are the general steps in performing cluster analysis with SAS. In some software, I could just load the raw data and then I got the results. Can anyone tell me so I got a rough idea of how to do it so that I could have a general idea about where/what topic I should be focusing???<BR /> <BR /> I have a data set of about 200,000 observations with about 30-35 attributes. All of them is raw transaction data. Some attributes are categorical values (with many possible categories). Some are numeric. Some are 0 and 1. I am looking to find anomalous or suspicious transactions (outliers). Can anyone tell me the general steps that I should follow in performing cluster analysis??<BR /> <BR /> Thank you so much in advance.<BR /> <BR /> Best,<BR /> Panda Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:22:04 GMT deleted_user 2009-06-21T17:22:04Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Cluster-Analysis-with-SAS-When-the-data-are-mixed/m-p/47153#M12634 Hi..<BR /> <BR /> I have never done the cluster analysis with SAS before.
