But you can obtain the Cubic Clustering Criterion in the "Cluster criterion" submenu of the platform : the minimum CCC computed value gives a good indication of the number of clusters to retain, at least if this minimum is clearly marked. The CCC was developed by SAS Institute in 1983 and you read all the details by downloading <A href="https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/v82/techreport_a108.pdf" title="https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/v82/techreport_a108.pdf">https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/v82/techreport_a108.pdf</A>.</P><P></P><P>Hope that helps</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Oct 2015 08:22:44 GMT https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Hierarchical-clustering-in-JMP-Finding-inertia-to-determine/m-p/15104#M13997 yvesa_roy 2015-10-30T08:22:44Z
