How to Obtain Output of proc fastclus (and proc cluster) as SAS Dataset

[ehsanmath]

Hallo,

Recently, I have to use "proc fastclus" to cluster some data. But I do not know how to obtain the Output given by "proc fastclus" as a SAS dataset.

For instance, I am obtaining the following Output in the SAS Output Window.  Is there a way to obtain the following Output as a SAS dataset ?

I shall be thankful for your time and suggestions.

regards

Ehsan

2          1.000000000

3          0.502824859

Minimum Distance Between Initial Seeds = 0.497175

Hi,

You need to put ods output before proc fastclus syntax. All the desired output datasets will be saved in work library.

Regards,

Naeem

ods output InitialSeeds=InitialSeeds MinDist=MinDist IterHistory=IterHistory

ConvergenceStatus=ConvergenceStatus ClusterSum=ClusterSum  VariableStat=VariableStat;

proc fastclus data=have Replace=FULL  Radius=0  Maxclusters=3 Maxiter=20  Converge=0.02;

var a b c d e;

run;

proc print data=InitialSeeds;

run;

proc print data=MinDist;

run;

.........
