can you please advise on how to merge clusters in E-Miner?
There is not a way to do this directly in the Cluster node since reducing a solution from k+1 levels to a solution that has k levels (for instance) would not necessarily be the same as joining two of the clusters together. What you seem to be describing is a simple reassignment, however, which you can accomplish fairly easily as follows:
1 - change the Cluster Variable Role property in the Cluster node from Segment to Input and rerun the analysis
2 - review the Cluster node results and identify which clusters you wish to combine
3 - connect a Replacement node following the Cluster node and run the Replacement node (to update the metadata)
4 - click on the ... to the right of Replacement Editor property in the Replacement node and reassign the cluster values produced by the Cluster node (the _SEGMENT_ variable) as desired
5 - run the flow from the Replacement node to obtain the desired data form
Hope this helps!
