Hi all,

I wrote the below code to conduct clustering analysis but for the results, I got class seven name as class seven 0.10.1
Could you please advice with this

Thanks

data stock;
   length class $ 27;
   input class &$  IH_High IH_Meduim IH_Low US_SH_High_Low US_SH_High_Meduim US_SH_High_Low FM_Low;
   datalines;


Class Four	1.3	1.3	1.3	1.2	1.2	1.2	0.8
Class Five	28.1	18.1	28.1	26.4	36.4	46.4	54.7
Class Six	2.8	2.8	2.8	5	5	5	7.8
Class Seven	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1
Class eight	2.9	2.9	2.9	5	5	5	4.5
Class nine	60	70	60	60	50	40	30
Class ten	0.5	0.5	0.5	0.6	0.6	0.6	1.4
Class eleven	2.7	2.7	2.7	1.2	1.2	1.2	0
Class twelve	1.3	1.3	1.3	0.3	0.3	0.3	0
Class thirteen 	0.3	0.3	0.3	0.2	0.2	0.2	0.7

proc distance data=stock method=dcorr out=distdcorr;
   var interval(IH_High IH_Meduim IH_Low US_SH_High_Low US_SH_High_Meduim US_SH_High_Low FM_Low);
   id class;
run;

proc print data=distdcorr;
   id class;
   title2 'Distance Matrix for 15 Utility Stocks';
run;
title2;

ods graphics on;

/* compute pseudo statistic versus number of clusters and create plot */

   id class;
run;

   id class;

Try inserting an additional space between the Seven and 0.1

 

When I ran your code there was a single, I believe TAB character. When using LIST input with the & modifier you need to have 2 spaces to indicate the end of a variable.

 

You will have the same issue with Eight as well I think.
