Hi,
I have a data set with over 30 attributes, mostly nominal, 3 ordinal, 3 binary variables, and just one interval variable (age).
Could anyone please advise if I can successfully do a clustering on this data set using Enterprise Miner 14.2?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards
RJ
EM Cluster Node does support nominal variables. The variables need to be identified as input in the data source. Use a Segment Profile node found under the Access tab to explore the relationships. For interval variables the Red respresents the population values, the blue represents the segment. For nominal the inner pie represents the population and the outer represents the segment.
HP Cluster node currently only runs on interval variables. You would need to change your nominal variables to indicator variables (0,1) to use in HP Cluster.
You can use either node on a single-machine mode. Look in the help to see the different settings/options available in both. Help can be found by clicking on the blue book with a ? icon and then node reference. Each node's help is organized under the tab name. For example HP Cluster is under the HPDM Nodes section.
