I would like to ask about reproducibility problem with HP Clus procedure in SAS Enterprise Miner. I can not reproduce my results when I run the algorithm again with the same seed and same hyper-parameters. I have also tried saving the diagram as .xml and the whole path as SAS code and running them again, but I still didn't get the same results. I would like to ask the following: - Is there anyway to reproduce the same clustering solution from HP Clus procedure in SAS Enterprise Miner? - To what extent it is tolerable not having/reproducing exactly the same results from HP procedures, like is there any acceptable solution for having different clustering solutions from the HP Clus algorithms started with the same seeds and same hyper-parameters? - Does SAS provide any solution for the reproducibility problems for HP procedures in SAS Enterprise Miner? - Is the problem of reproducibility in HP procedures due to the parallel processing computation infrastructure ?
