Scoring a new dataset with Clusters created in Fastclus

[MoniqueParmar]

Hi, I have built 8 clusters using proc fastclus and I now want to apply it to a new dataset - how do I do this?

Is there something similar like proc score that is used in logistic regression?

I think this thread explains the syntax that you need to use:

Thank you

Tried to apply this and the clusters are completely different

is there another method to use similar to proc score?

How else would you be able to score customers with a cluster once you have built a segmentation?

Please post the code that you tried to use.

Try running the second FASTCLUS code without the options MAXCLUSTERS MAXITER or DELETE
