Hello all,

 

I'm using "hpclus" process for clustering but I don't know "B", in this process, stands for what? And how should I set this value? I could just find that this number represents the number of Monte Carlo draws but I don't which value of this parameter is the best one for my analysis. I put part of my code here:

 

proc hpclus
data=ios
maxclusters=8
maxiter=100
seed=54321
NOC=ABC(B=25 minclusters=3 align=PCA);
score out=outscore;
input Dos Execute_Code Overflow  Obtain_Information Gain_Previledges Bypass_a_Restriction Directory_Traversal Cross_Site_Scripting  CSRF Memory_Curruption;
id cve_id;
ods output ABCStats=ABC;
run; 

 

Thank you!

Yazdan

First stop is the docs. 

 

B=number
specifies the number of reference data sets to be created for each cluster candidate. By default, B=1.

It explains more in the links in the documentation.
