Hi guys,
If I use proc rank with grouping function, what is the different between this method and the k mean clustering method?
Actually i do not see any other differentiation only that with using proc rank (with group) the procedure wants to divide the groups in equal part...
Thanks your answer,
Steve
I won't comment on k-means clustering method, but ...
PROC RANK computes ranks on individual variables.
K-mean clusters finds groupings of observations in your data set using multiple variables.
These don't do the same things.
